Artistscientist

Hello! I'm Whitney from Ohio. I'm an artist, an art therapist, and mom to an awesome 3 year-old. I love to create with mixed media and recently discovered Postcrossing, which has been a great way to fuse all my interests in one hobby.

Some of my favorite things: -coffee -fairy tales and folklore -mythology -nature, particularly forests and woods -lots of color and patterns (bohemian style) -poetry and prose -books -random acts of kindness -spirituality -science -birds

I love music. Some favorites include: Los Campesinos! Pearl Jam Iron and Wine Neko Case Jenny Lewis Amanda Palmer Bon Iver Typhoon Neil Young

I read. A lot. I like: Margaret Atwood Neil Gaiman Donna Tartt Tana French Charles Bukowski Mary Oliver

Amelie, Hot Rod, Singles, Wet Hot American Summer, Home Alone, Lost in Translation, Waking Life, Across the Universe

I've been making art my whole life. I graduated from college with a fine arts degree in painting but don't have the space or time to work on large projects anymore. I currently do a lot of mixed media work and visual/art journaling. I work on small shadow boxes with collage and found objects, artist trading cards, jewelry making, and mail art.
