I was born and raised in Turkey and spent my early years surrounded by creativity, though painting wasn’t my main focus then. My educational journey took me through psychology, philosophy, and an MBA, eventually leading me to the US to pursue a doctoral degree in media studies. At all institutions where I studied or worked, I spent countless hours exploring large art books and immersing myself in artistic worlds. During the doctoral program, I discovered the joy and passion for watercolors. I think the nerd in me greatly enjoyed researching the pigment world. Now based in Southern California, I channel my diverse experiences and love for art into creating works that reflect my unique perspective. My art continues to evolve, drawing inspiration from my multicultural background and the vibrant world around me.

I invite you to explore my watercolor creations, which blend my multicultural heritage and the vibrant, ever-evolving world around me. Each piece reflects my journey and the artistic exploration that inspires me.
