Sarah T. Kellington, 1983 - 2039
January 10th, 2005 09:23 pmSarah Therese Kellington, musician, artist, and architect, died Tuesday of complications from a rhino attack. She was 56.
Born in Corvallis, Oregon, to Mary and William Kellington, Sarah moved to Washington as an infant and spent her childhood in Tacoma and Olympia. In 2005 she graduated from Western Washington University of Bellingham, and went on to (whichever grad-school accepts me, dammit).
As an architect, Sarah Kellington is best known for her work on multi family residential architecture in the Portland and Seattle areas. Her work on livable urban density and multi-use structures earned her a degree of local recognition. Her first major public project was the new Western Washington University Fine Arts building. When asked about the possibility of remodeling the old one, she responded, “Blow it up.”
As an artist, Miss Kellington’s most widely known contributions were in the field of comics. One of the first members of the Bellingham School of Comics in 2004, she continued to work in local comics communities up until her unexpected death. Though she was always a closet fine artist, she never lived down the stigma of the liking for fantasy art that had brought her to painting and earned her the rather undeserved nickname ‘dragon girl.’
Sarah Kellington was also a frequent world traveler, spending significant time in France and Japan as well as visiting much of Asia and Europe. Often supporting her travels with her music, she was a part of Celtic music communities at home and abroad. Never a family woman, she ‘liked her lovers like her wine – aged and imported.’
Miss Kellington was predeceased by her mouse, Slickett, some thirty-three years ago. She is survived by her cat, Mefiance, 10, and a flourishing mold colony in a Tupperware in the back of her fridge (age undetermined). The Celtic musician community would like to announce that a wake will be held on Friday evening. Suitable libations will be provided.
Shortly before being gored by the escaped rhino, Miss Kellington was seen running through the streets in a bath towel shouting ‘Eureka’ and exclaiming that she had discovered the definition of art.
