About Me

My name is Kathryn Harper. I'm a purple-haired 50-something SAHM of a 9-year-old girl who is the light of my life. I am also an artist. Here is what I do/make/prefer:

Art: primarily abstract painting (acrylics), drawing, collage/assemblage, photography

Craft: cooking, baking, crafts with kids

Write: poetry, essay, blogging, memoir

Read: fiction (historical, suspense, mystery, literary), memoir, biography, science, history

I've lived in: Syracuse, NY, until age 31; Austin, TX for 10 years; San Jose, CA 2004-now

Spiritual affiliation: Zen Buddhist

Past Professions: Librarian; Psychotherapist; Non-profit Manager

Myers-Briggs: INFJ

Smoker: No

Allergies: none to food, animal, dust, wool or smoke

Colors: I love color. My walls are a neutral beige so I can put up paintings and photos; they look best with the contrast. I have purple hair (sometimes more indigo, other times more pink). However, I also love green in all its shades. I wear a lot of purple, green, and blue. I love light spaces. We chose our house based on how much natural light came through the windows. I like dark cozy spaces also; I just didn't want to live in one.

Scents: I wear only one type of perfume, and have for over two decades: Ciara 100% strength. I am frequently told how good I smell. :) As for environmental scents, I do burn incense (stick type): Sandalwood, Cedarwood, Amber, Vanilla, Jasmine, Pine, Nag Champa. I like votive candles too, vanilla is best. I like the smell of evergreen trees and campfires. For body creams, I like vanilla.

Jewelry: I'm strictly a white gold/sterling silver type. I have pierced ears but must wear lightweight earrings. I prefer French hook type earrings.

Postcards

I like all sorts of images. I like images of people, food, nature, animals, mythological beings, humorous postcards, feminist images, leftist/democratic politics, art, monuments, cityscapes, waterscapes, landscapes. I'm open to all kinds of postcards. Cathedrals and other religious structures are fine (the architecture can be fascinating).

Comment: Some very philosophical musings from this Drunk PC, I like it! :D Somehow, it's still quite amazing that anyone -- or anything -- can get lost in this modern world of GPS gadgetry, doesn't it?

Hello! I'm going to leave you this comment for the swap (you're my partner.) hm.. I'm not sure what I should say. How about if I just leave you with one of my favourite quotes:
'True friends, like ivy and the wall, both stand together, and both together fall.'

Kay have a nice day!

Thank you for being an angel for the What's Your Spark swap. I also find that I am not as active in the things that use to be my sparks before children, especially reading. SoulCollage looks very interesting.

Kimber on Feb 9, 2015:

So glad you investigated intersectional feminism. :)
