In the White Gallery – Julie
“Tink” Markytan
Julie
“Tink” Markytan arrived in Fort Myers in 2002 traversing the nation from my
previous home in Seattle. In so doing, she retired from my previous career
in the film business. Her artwork
encompassed various mediums through the years until settling upon sculpture.
The alchemy of creativity ignites within her as she physically touches and
works the materials, allowing them to guide her to the result. “Tink” loves
using recycled materials. A journey to the salvage yard is like finding buried
treasure for her, each item an inspirational jewel. "To everything there
is a purpose" and then the potential to becoming art, “ states Tink.
