Who am I?

I am of Turkish and English background. At an early age, I always knew that I wanted to have art in my life. To fulfill this dream, I moved to the UK to study at Cambridge school of Art (ARU) where I studied BA (Hons) Fine Art printmaking.

After graduation I continued working as an Art Technician at the university where I had the opportunity to take part in a lot of exhibitions and also had the opportunity to produce my own artwork while exploring different artists work and also had the opportunity to try a lot of different techniques as I had access to limitless print studios.

Currently, I live in Barcelona with my husband and two cats. All of my prints are hand printed by in my living room by using a barren or by using a wooden spoon.

I particularly like using block printing as a medium because I find it very therapeutic   but at the same time, I sometimes like using screen printing and collagraphs too. I mostly use block printing as my main medium because I like the mystery of not knowing how a print may look, once printed.

I am interested in things that have a meaning for me or have some form of importance in the two cultures I hold. My prints are mostly of symbols, talismans, female figures and most of all cats as I am a cat lover.
