I love to make and trade ATCs. I listen to audio books and rock music. I also love tv and movies. I have been drawing and collaging all my life and trading my art with other online artists for 7 years

I love Chunky Books (or Fatbooks) and have 15 completed books. I recently purchased my own Rubicoil binder and am now hosting a Chunky Book on another art site and would love to eventually host one here.

Artist trading cards are my passion and I have a very large collection to which I am always adding. In addition to individual ATCs, I also enjoy ATC jams (where someone starts an ATC and others add to it and the originator makes a copy of the completed card for all the players) and ATC Round Robins (where 3 cards are started and all three players add to all three cards and each ends up with one of the cards, an original ATC for each player) I'm always looking to add new players to my Jams and Round Robins.

I love cats and fish and love cat-themed and fish-themed art. It's hard to say what my favorite color is because I love them all so much. I love the smell of crayola crayons, manila art paper, and old books. I'm not very good at watercolor or oils but I long to create a good painting. I am good at pencil sketches and colored pencil drawings. I also love collage and hope to one day create a large collage for my living room.

I work for the phone company and look forward to retirement(in about 8 years)and the free time to devote to my art.

I have 4 grandchildren. The youngest spends most weekends with me so I get very little computer time on the weekends unless I wake up before she does.

My daughter Katybean27 is also a member here and has completed many trades. It will be hard to catch up with her.
