So's I was walking home from work and overheard an exchange between a man holding a cardboard sign and a man with a freshly parked shiny ride.
"I was just trying to help you out man - your back tire was on the curb." Says the man with the cardboard sign.
"I'm from Ballard - that's how we park there." Says the man with the freshly parked car.
Uh-huh.
Like it was a declaration - an indulgence of the locale.
Or the guy was trying to be funny to a man begging with a cardboard sign.

About Me
- Sara
- Seattle, Washington, United States
- A nomadic childhood made my sense of "home" into a concept rather than a place. I create art that continually builds and restructures these concepts. Landscapes real and imaged tucked within a child-like house shape revel in a love of pattern and line and color that I had first picked up as a child in Turkey. Freely creating a huge canvas of color-play, only to tear it into strips to sew with was hugely liberating. I had returned to creating purely for the joy of making something beautiful, but never forgetting a heavy dose of yearning towards the apex of an unknown destination. My work has been shown in Seattle galleries and internationally in Ireland, Finland and Monaco. I've been an awardee of the Vermont Studio Center Artist Fellowship and a printmaking residency in Co. Donegal, Ireland. As well as being a working painter, I also consult as a curator for real estate development in the Seattle area, and serve on the Board of Directors of Seattle's Center on Contemporary Art.
