About Me

Hello! I’m pretty new to making ATCs but I’ve been drawing and creating for the majority of my life. I’m in three or four different Facebook groups right now. While I prefer doing hand drawn cards, I like to try different mediums for ATCs from time-to-time. (I just bought new watercolors to explore painting ATCs) I've also created a portfolio on Instagram to showcase a few of my ATCs.

My style is eclectic (both in drawing and collecting). I guess that’s why I’m so excited about trading here.

I find my ideas and inspiration in several different places. I like to mimic styles of other artists (Andy Warhol, Tom Fredo, Roy Lichtenstein, etc) and then throw my own twist on it. I enjoy learning new techniques and trying out new styles! I’ve learned that I have a greater appreciation for an artist after I study their technique a little (mainly because I learn how difficult it can be, LOL).

Favorite Music

Music is extremely important in my life! It fuels my creativity and helps focus my mind.

For example: while I researched and wrote my thesis over Young Adult literature from the 1970s, I would listen to a playlist of era appropriate music (ABBA, The Bee Gees, Earth Wind & Fire, etc.)

My first concert was Garth Brooks in the 80's... My favorite concert was Joan Jett in 2019...

What's in my CD player? Soundtracks from Wicked, Hamilton, and Mary Poppins...

I like to jam out to Nickelback and Luke Combs... I like to relax to Jill Scott and Bette Midler... But ELVIS will always be king!!!

Favorite Movies

Movies and Television can be seen reflected in many of the things I create! There's something to be said about being able to escape to a different reality for a brief period of time. As I'm sure you already suspect (if you've read this far) I like a variety of movies.

Pretty much the only thing that I don't like is Horror/Gore. I try to keep nudity to a minimum (just a personal preference).

I'm a lifelong Disney addict and enjoy classics!

Favorite Crafts

I make quilts (specifically t-shirt quilts) by trade. I have even quilted ATCs and traded a few in alternative material groups.

I like things that are a bit different so I try to get handmade items whenever possible! I love learning and I'm always trying to learn a new craft technique or make something.

I use crafting as a way to relax and wind down for the day.
