My name is Ori. Welcome to my personal site.

I am a physicist by training and an admirer of the world around us. I think bugs are so cute, especially beetles, and sometimes I wish I could be one. I'm a collector of fossils, bones, rocks, and curiosities. I like taking walks and watching the plants change from day to day. I appreciate clear nights when the moon looks so crisp. I enjoy train rides, both familiar and unfamiliar—even my daily commuter train is a good time.

I am rather adept at wielding a needle and thread. I love making mixed media fabric creatures like the ones hanging out on this page. My favorite household chore is mending clothes, and I've also spent many an hour hand-sewing historic-inspired garments.

I like to make art in traditional media including watercolor, alcohol markers, painting, and collage. Really, I will try anything. I am part of an online art trading community called ATCsForAll, where we exchange art (primarily 2.5" x 3.5" Artist Trading Cards, or ATCs) through the mail. Getting letters from all around the world is a great joy, and even better when they're full of art! I couldn't recommend it more.
