An addendum hours later. First, I wanted to edit my previous post and then decided against it. It was true to my thoughts and feelings at the time. Now, after further reflection and another conversation I've come to face that this vacation is what it is. A time for family and friends. A period of rest after much output. A time for taking in, reading, sketching, reflecting and readying the studio for future work.
The angst of the previous post just proves to me that this time for rest is precisely what I need. And that is precisely what I will be doing. Till then my friend, ta ta.

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.
