About Me

Welcome to the swap-bot profile of artist Temple Terkildsen, specializing in occult collages, nightscapes and oil painted pet portraits.

Certified Bob Ross Instructor, spiritual healer, dreamer, believer, optimist, idealist, astrologer, painter, collage alchemist, student of the occult...

A paradox of definitions...I give a lot of hearts.

I've been a mailart artist/participant for more than 10 years, have pieces in museums in both the US and abroad, teach "the joy of painting" painting to willing students, and am a very grounding force with a huge mock-up for the freedom for all people to experience love.

For the other half of my brain, I work 60 hours a week as a Tax and Legal clerk. My great escape is Mary Kay, and without my Mary Kay business, I would go insane and drown in depression.

I respond to email at dangerine at gmail dot com before any pm's here.

Hi Temple!

Just thought that I´d drop you a line about the journal I was selected to send you..

The mailing date is 2nd of June but I cannot send mine until 4th,due to the fact that I have limited amount of stamps at the moment and my next paycheck=pension comes on 4th.I hope this is ok with you.I´m really sorry to have to do this.But I just thought I should let you know.I want my journal to travel to you in good condition and with adequate postage.Let me know if this troubles you in any way.

All the best to you and your loved ones.

-Suvi

YOU are awesome! I would so love to see your warehouse, the description sounds amazing. And glass blowing has always fascinated me, if I ever get the opportunity it’s something I really want to try. And I checked out your collages- you are a fantastic artist! The one with the tarot cards and the winners shrine I’m especially drawn to- swoon!

AngelGurl on Jul 5, 2009:

Hi Temple. I sent your movie log swap out today. It should take 14 days to arrive. Janine

Robot on May 20, 2009:

RogueArtist on May 12, 2009:

We miss you at Wild Women! stop in and say hello soon!

Robot on May 8, 2009:

If I just wanted to send you a CD outside of any swap, how do I get your address? I've got all kinds of dark noise, darkwave stuff, dark ambient, dark electronic music...I'm sure its right up your alley. I'm sure you could show me a thing or two as well!
