Who is this mysterious salty barnacle? I'm both an artist and a marine scientist. While my paintings usually involve careful planning, research, sketches, and layers of tiny details, I've long dabbled in the form of mail art as a way to let loose, experiment with techniques and ideas, and above all connect with other mail artists who have the same love of postage, ephemera, hand carved stamps, and fun-filled mailboxes as I. This blog was created as a way to document and share the art coming/going from my mailbox, as well as other postal miscellany, in hopes that others will find them just as inspiring as I do. --Michelle
