Every good artist pen should be archival.  

Valentine's Day is one of my favorite holidays, and I hope the international valentine exchange will become a yearly tradition. 
My friend, Julia Parris, is the beloved co-ordinato

I believe that there should be more beauty in the world, beauty that points to something pure, kind, creative, and life-giving.  I also enjoy creating opportunities to bring people together.

Advent is one of my favorite times of year.
