Zeynep was born in 1969, in Istanbul, Turkey. She studied architecture at Istanbul Technical University and finished her master’s degree in architecture at University of Arizona. After practicing for a couple of years in Atlanta and Seattle, she found herself busy with kids at home. Since then she satisfies her itch for creation and design by working on small scale projects and painting at her home office.
Since her childhood she has immensely enjoyed drawing and painting. Art always became a way to express herself, a way to anchor memories and a way to enjoy life. She is inspired by her kids, her dreams. Her background in architecture perseveres in her compositions. She likes to focus on where and how things exist in space and light. She likes to experiment with different mediums besides pencil, acrylic, watercolor, oil, and soft pastel. Her recent interest is in printmaking.
