Koloud ‘Kay’ Tarapolsi left Libya with her family when she was 7 years old. Shortly afterwards, her parents were granted political asylum and allowed to live in the US. She grew up mostly in Oklahoma, but moved to Seattle in 1992 after a friend sent her a postcard of Mt. Rainer. She had always created art, but started making handmade Arabic greeting cards when she couldn’t find any to give to friends. Soon she was getting request and now also makes Farsi and Urdu cards. Trying to stay unique, instead of making regular cards for her American friends, she started making them sarcastic. She lives in Redmond, WA with her husband, 3 young daughters and a cat named Shems, Arabic for sunshine.
