Brittany Noethen is an artist living in a tech manager’s body. She would rather be<br />
decapitated than give up making art, trading ATCs, or stop thinking that the phrase “Muffins<br />
or Bust” is hilarious. She currently lives in Iowa with her partner Cat, her 12 year old pit bull,<br />
Maggie, and shelves full of art supplies.<br />

Andrea Melione (AKA EraserQueen) has a B.S. in Arts Management and is doggedly<br />
pursuing a Master’s in Library Science. She has been involved in Mail Art for five years<br />
and is the co-founder of IllustratedATCs.com. She is a contributor to <strong>ArtTrader</strong> <strong>Magazine</strong><br />
where she is a graphic designer and author. She mainly works in watercolor, colored<br />
pencil, acrylics, markers and gel pens. Her work has been in four exhibits, though two were<br />
academic and she isn’t sure if that counts enough to sound cool.<br />

Meran niCuill Fascinated by nature and science, Meran ni Cuill attempts daily to translate<br />
her passions into art. Sometimes she feels she even succeeds! And then something else<br />
will catch her attention and off she’ll go! Chasing another ideal. Meran enjoys gardening,<br />
sunsets, dogs, birds, and just about anything as long as it’s not endless crowds of people.<br />
When those present, she’ll retreat to a quiet place and read a book, or cut some glass, both<br />
of which she finds therapeutic.<br />

Dana Driscoll is an experimental artist working in a variety of media including watercolors,<br />
mixed media, oils, clay, book arts, hand papermaking, and altered art. She is currently<br />
working on several artistic projects, including painting her way through a 78-card tree tarot<br />
deck and combining her love of pottery and bookmaking. When not avoiding the perils of<br />
pursuing her Ph.D. in Rhetoric and Composition, she can be found frolicking in nearby<br />
forests or hanging out with her nerdy gamer friends. Dana’s work can be found at her blog:<br />
artisticjourneys.blogspot.com and she can be reached at adriayna@yahoo.com.<br />

Abi Aldrich is a K-6 Art teacher in Wyoming. She sells oil paintings professionally, makes<br />
pottery because she likes to play in the mud, and generally makes text -based sculptures<br />
and installations because that is her true love. Beyond that she loves printmaking, drawing,<br />
and graphic design. In all her massive amounts of free time, Abi hangs out with her<br />
menagarie, including several rabbits, a chinchilla, a hampster, a cockatiel and a large<br />
bearded dragon. She also calls West Africa every night to talk to the love of her life, Gee.<br />
So in a nutshell, she is a nut who likes to make a mess in art!<br />
