# About Me <br>*CONTACT 𓆜 𓆝 𓆞 𓆟* <a href="https://harpaleon.atabook.org/"><img src="art/mailbox.png" width="85" id="mailbox"></a> <br>harpaleon@gmail.com Welcome! I'm Harpy (@harpaleon). You can view my featured and recent projects under ART, read my writing in STORIES, or explore the filterable database of my works in ARCHIVE. I'm interested in creating art that is relevant and useful to the contemporary world. I aim to blend retro technology, marine biology, and social justice in my art. I work for galleries, aquariums, and museums, as well as creating and running arts-based activities for children. In addition to traditional visual art, technology also intrigues me. I work within the roles of game designer, artist, beta tester, and community manager. I'm a member of [Merveilles](https://wiki.xxiivv.com/site/merveilles.html), a community of artists and technologists. Ultimately, my goal is to merge art and science into educational material for kids. I dream of building marine dioramas for natural history museums. ## Social Media <br>[quadplay✜ Discord](https://discord.gg/G54fV3jVav) <br>[Merveilles Mastodon](https://merveilles.town/@harpaleon) <br>[Tumblr](https://www.tumblr.com/harpaleon) <style> body { background-image: url('art/placeholder.png'); background-position: left bottom; background-repeat: no-repeat; background-size: 344px; image-rendering: -moz-crisp-edges; image-rendering: pixelated; } /* Undo inherited image-rendering inherits */ .md img { image-rendering: auto; } #mailbox { float: right; position: relative; top: -8px; } #mailbox:hover { transform: scale(1.2, 1.2); transform-origin: center; } </style>
