I fell in love with Wendy Wallin Malinow's Halloween mail art when I first saw it. What is mail Art ? It is a process where strangers (or friends) mail each other art, and in Wendy's case, "make art" out of mail.
Wendy grew up in a family of artists. Her dad was an architect, but also
collected stamps and loved getting things in the mail. Her mom was a
calligrapher and loved any kind of hand lettered forms. She has always
loved drawing and painting. Early on, she made her own cards and faux
stamps. She is an illustrator and has created commericial greeting
cards, gift items, and books.
Wendy says "I love
participating in swaps and pen pals. I'm currently working on altering
vintage envelopes and postcards, mixing them up with vintage stamps and my
own stamps. Some of my originals and prints are in my Etsy shop and my
tumblr site."
