Amy L. Sargent is a poet, mixed-media artist, and writing professor living in Roseburg,
Oregon. She trades mail art under the artist ID “amyfaerie” at www.atcsforall.com. She
lives with her husband, their three cats, and an old, hand-me-down dog. When not writing,
making art, or teaching, she is most certainly at the post office or at a thrift store.
Angela Kingston-Smith (aka LemurKat) is an illustrator, not an artist. With her quirky,
whimsical style she can turn anything cute and her art now graces the walls of fellow artists
all over the world, from Guatemala to Madagascar. She hails from the lovely south island of
New Zealand, and loves to add a “kiwi flavour” to her art. Kat is also a dedicated bibliophile.
Her motto is “always bring a book”. When she is not drawing, reading, sleeping or working,
Kat is usually writing (or editing). For more information on LemurKat or to see more of her
art, pay a visit to her online gallery at deviantart.

Tracie Rozario Residing on the Sunny West Coast of Australia, Tracie is a self taught
artist and lives with her husband, 3 children, 2 cats and 2 dogs. Her preferred medium is
anything she can paint or draw with. Her passion lies in fantasy and portraits and much of
her work revolves around that theme: fantasy and whimsical style. She believes that her
biggest artistic influence is the Impressionist movement. The use of vibrant ‘true’ colors,
visible brush strokes and freedom that the movement represents has always inspired
her. From taking the step of trading ATCs, Tracie has found herself also creating altered
Dominos, art dolls, 4”x4” chunky book pages, 8”x8” journal pages, altered Rolodex address
cards and even creating her own line of polymer stamps; things that she would never have
known about or even thought about doing. Tracie is a self-taught artist and is a qualified
Parchment Craft Australia Teacher and Duncan Ceramics Teacher. She also paints larger
works on commission.
