Do you share some special memories with your Valentine? Capture them for a lifetime by having a shadowbox created just for him or her. Or, if you're searching for a one-of-a-kind gift that your recipient will enjoy forever, look no further than Geary Gallery and Accent Picture Framing! Let us create a shadowbox to display their favorite collection or achievements, choose an original work of art, or we can pair you with an artist to schedule a future custom portrait for the both of you. We also offer gift certificates.
Also, just a note that we will once again be part of the team judging Pic Darien, the smart phone photography contest. If you're interested in submitting a photo to the contest, see the details below.
Happy Valentine's Day and we look forward to seeing you at the gallery this month!

About Yasemin Tomakan
Yasemin Tomakan was born in Beverly Hills, California and was raised in Istanbul, Turkey and New York City. She attended The Art Students League in Manhattan, and is a graduate of the Cooper Union School of Art and Engineering.
A hands-on artist equally comfortable in pastel and oils, Tomakan immerses herself in the details of every piece she creates. Her Asian studies influenced her attitude toward the aesthetic of the subject, with the common theme being the “spirit” of the place and its relationship to the environment. Tomakan has traveled extensively all over Europe, the Middle East and in recent years, to seaside locales in the United States. This travel influences her work to this day.
Tomakan’s professional affiliations include the Lyme Art Association, the American Society of Marine Artists (ASMA), the Rowayton Arts Association, the Art Society of Old Greenwich and the Greenwich Art Society. She has won numerous juried awards, including: Second Place Winner – Art Society of Old Greenwich, 2013; Second Place Winner – Rowayton Arts Center, 2013; Best in Show – Rowayton Arts Center, 2012; and Third Place Winner – Art Society of Old Greenwich, 2012.
Yasemin Tomakan’s exhibit runs February 2-26, and her paintings are available for acquisition. All are welcome and admission is free.
