Happy FALL - 2026 !

Wow, it’s been a while since I’ve written! I wanted to take a moment to share a few exciting things that have happened since my last email.

First, I was interviewed by Curatory Magazine and am featured in their Vol. 18th edition. I’m thrilled to have been invited to be part of this publication! The magazine was released just as summer was ending and fall was beginning. You can read the entire interview on my website here or order a copy of the magazine here.

In July, I also had the opportunity to participate in the CK International IX Art Symposium in Istanbul and Şarköy, Turkey. This was an invitation-only gathering of 18 artists from around the world.

We began our journey in Istanbul, exploring some of the city's most iconic sights and museums while learning about the rich and dynamic history of this incredible place. From there, we traveled to Tekirdağ for the second part of our residency.

We were generously hosted by Bülent and Berk Kalpaklıoğlu of CH Kalpak Vineyards. Each morning, we were picked up from our hotel and driven up the hill to the vineyards, where we spent our days working. After a full day of painting and a shared dinner, we would return to our hotel in the cozy seaside town of Şarköy.

This experience gave me the opportunity to explore my work in a different way. After witnessing the contemporary art scene in Istanbul, experiencing the unique light and atmosphere of the region, and navigating some significant changes in my own life, I found myself drawn to a much heavier, yet clearer palette compared to the softer, greyer tones of my previous work.

The resulting works feel especially precious to me, as they bear witness to that particular time in my life. I'm currently writing a little more about this experience and will share in a forthcoming blog.

And one more bit of exciting news: NewArtProject Magazine also featured my work earlier this year! You can find that feature on my website as well here.
