ABOUT ME

I am 34 years old artist living in Istanbul. I moved to the States in 2000 for my masters of fine arts degree and lived in Boston for 3 years and New York for 5 years. I moved back to Istanbul but traveled back and fort between Europe and the USA for almost 4 years. It's only now, since January of 2012, that I'm finally settling in back in my home town.

PHILOSOPHY
