Born in the Netherlands, my journey has taken me through diverse cultures, with significant time spent in the USA, Turkey, and Germany. My academic foundation in art was laid at Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi, where I earned a BA in 1995. Over the years, my work has gained international recognition, and was featured in exhibitions across the USA, Turkey, and Europe, while also being included in various private and corporate collections globally.

As a member of both the International Watercolor Society-Holland and Kunstbrücke International, my passion for art continues to evolve. A noteworthy shift occurred in 2022 when I embraced Islamic Geometric Art. The aesthetic beauty and rich history of this art form captured my imagination, as reflected in my current portfolio of patterns painted in watercolor and gouache, alongside a selection of earlier works.
