"Days work is imbued with a poetic mysticism that artfully exploits the intensity and unusual panoply of shapes found in nature. Including the human form." -Jean Mckig, DESERT SUN

Day began painting in Istanbul, Turkey in 2001 and shows his work annually in his hometown on Whidbey Island.

Jeff Day creates unique visual interpretations of the mysterious city of Istanbul. Everyday life, architecture, landscape, and the people of this poetic and sensuous land are the images that become his art. A long-time Whidbey resident and NW Artist, Day has made numerous trips to Turkey. Recently returned from a winter visit, he continues to explore ways of expressing this foreign experience. Filtered through western sensibilities, the results are a delightful and surprising melding of cultures.
