RevisionistPaper

Hello from one of the most beautiful places in the world - the San Francisco Bay Area! I am a newbie here, but I have been an artist and paper lover my whole life. I promise to do my best to send out things based on your own profile.

I AM PASSIONATE ABOUT:

Family, dogs, art, nature, snail mail, music/podcasts, time to work on my arts and crafts!

Travel - Meeting locals and being out of my element.

Photography - I continue to hone my eye to capture moments, but I am also trying to put my camera down so I can enjoy the view.

Arts & Crafts - I enjoy making greeting cards, working on my art journal, and discovering new creative methods and resources. I love working on memory keeping projects that incorporate photos. I am a beginner with hand lettering, watercolor painting, and art journals. I also dabble in cross-stitch.

Cooking - I am a proficient cook, and enjoy hosting tea parties.

My Soul Cities - New York, Scotland, San Francisco, and San Sebastian, Spain

I APPRECIATE:

My family, my country, my freedom, my opportunities, people with a can-do attitude, and those who are comfortable in their own skin.

I AM INSPIRED BY:

Being somewhere new, getting lost and making discoveries along the way with my camera in hand. Nature, pretty things, new perspectives, and people who get excited about arts and crafts.

OTHER STUFF:

I aspire to learn to meditate and to speak French and Italian. I watch Downton Abbey, Game of Thrones, This is Us, Call the Midwife, Rick Steves, Anthony Bourdain, Homeland, Walking Dead, The Americans, and PBS. Some of my all-time favorite movies are the Sound of Music, Pride & Prejudice, Seven, Amelie, and Shimmer Lake, just to name a few. I listen to rap, hip hop, R&B, jazz, crooners, classical, and house. I also like watching documentaries, travel shows and YouTube creative tutorials. The podcasts I listen to are This American Life, The Lively Show, Travel with Rick Steves, Serial, S-Town, Answer Me This, Malcom Gladwell’s Revisionist History, Invisibilia, Lore, The Leap, and Elise Gets Crafty. I root for the Los Angeles Lakers, Golden State Warriors, Green Bay Packers, and I also support USA Swimming. I've been trying to eat more sensibly. I try to hit the gym more regularly, and love the good vibes from being more active.
