I believe the arts should be for everyone and accessible for all. I would also like my creative practice to have healing qualities for those who stumble across my art I would love to have my paintings in hospitals and other similar social environments as a way to generate pleasure and wellness to those living through challenging times in their lives.
Primarily my paintings in the last few years has taken on influence from Turkey and Islamic design but most recently I’ve been able to return to my deep rooted fascination and appreciation of the Latino culture. I’ve yet to visit Mexico, Chile and Brazil but I have visited the incredible city of Barcelona in my early twenties and I’ve always loved to take Latin dance classes since I was 16. I returned to dancing Salsa and Bachata for the first time in 6-7 years June 2023.
Summer 2023 I was feeling inspired and also produced some very vibrant and fresh colourful paintings and recently I have focused on generating paintings which are more site specific and relevant for the environment of my client.

Mindfulness Painting Workshop – via Zoom 2020 – 2021
Online fully remote project I launched during the Covid 19 Pandemic and lockdown.
This was a time when I lived and worked teaching English in a conservative and traditional Turkish province up a mountain called Bilecik at the University. As a side project I decided to create a series of online remote mindfulness workshops for friends and friends of friends and anyone else who might have been interested. (below is the link to the digital poster I designed with a different logo to my current logo – I have re-branded myself a few times since then).
