Who is Pinar?
I'm a New York native, born and raised in Brooklyn. After being accepted into the Center for Arts Education's Career Development Program in high school, I thought I would pursue a career in film. Despite being encouraged to ditch college and move to LA, I chose to earn my bachelor's degree in Film and Media studies in New York and explore my creative options. Having worked in film, television, theater, and publishing, I've racked up quite a list of things I like. Creativity is a MUST.
I'm a hobby-phile—I have a hobby of having hobbies. I've taken up the ukulele, guitar, badminton, photography, crocheting, knitting, origami, jewelry-making, and watercolor painting at some point in my life. Time to get deep: I think we're all constantly growing and exposing ourselves to different things is a part of that necessary growth. I believe that creativity is a catalyst for molding each of us into bigger and better people.
Other note-worthy facts about me: 1) I am a lefty. I'm the kind of lefty who uses a computer mouse with her left hand (pretty extreme case). 2) Humor is like oxygen to me. I can't LIVE without it (anyone can live but LIVING is different). 3) Though I've attempted to play instruments myself, I'm MUCH better at listening to other people play them. 4) I LOVE writing about the most inspiring art today. I hope you enjoy reading and discovering along with me.

The SS Ayrfield is one of many decommissioned ships in the Homebush Bay, just west of Sydney, but what separates it from the other stranded vessels is the incredible foliage that adorns the rusted hull. The beautiful spectacle, also referred to as The Floating Forest, adds a bit of life to the area, which happens to be a sort of ship graveyard.
Originally launched as the…

UK-based German artist Mariele Neudecker creates spherical sculptures that place landscapes upside down in glass orbs. Each piece presents an intriguing spectacle that invites the viewer to interpret it any way they see fit. One could reflect their own inner struggles through the artist's body of work or perhaps see a greater global and environmental issue being…
