Half life

by rosedeniz April 27, 2010 art

Tweet I live a double life. Half of me is resident crumb-sweeper and bedtime storyteller of our family of four, while the other half is mentally miles away dreaming up projects, threading the needle of a story, and compulsively suggesting to Amazon that Penguin make The Poisoner’s Handbook available on the Kindle until it is.

Reinventing the artist

by rosedeniz January 20, 2010 art

Tweet Much like others go on pilgrimages to sacred places, art has been for me an act of searching. It has been a vehicle to describe the sensation of being a receiver of information and vision. It has given me an identity as part of a tribe of curious people asking questions visually. It has […]

Tweet Twenty women sit around long tables pushed together in a corner of a café in Istanbul on a Saturday morning. The clink of coffee cups, the murmur of orders being placed.

Ottoman map My first […]

Thinking in color

by rosedeniz December 17, 2009 art

Tweet For as long as I can remember, I have thought in color. I envision the calendar year, for example, as a line drawing shaped like a dissected pie, each month represented by a wedge of color. The cheerful spring and summer months are aqua and pink, fall colors green and yellow, and winter ashen […]

From the inside out

by rosedeniz November 25, 2009 art

Tweet Four years of nurturing a ‘homepreneur‘ habit, and 2+ years of gently deflecting kind people who still ask why I don’t teach English, I’ve just started to feel it is the right fit to work at home.  I venture to guess that most artists don’t think of themselves as entrepreneurs (will have to save […]

A guest at Colette

by rosedeniz November 18, 2009 art

Tweet I’m so happy to share that this week marks my second week as guest poster at Colette Patterns, where Sarai designs gorgeous garments for real women. Chantilly or Eclair may be my favorites, and I love how the names conjure Paris, cafes, vintage stores, and fashion icons. Every week I’ll be illustrating visual inspiration […]
