Los Angeles

I moved to Los Angeles to follow the sun. 

It was there that I was brought through the valley of the shadow of death. In this extreme environment, I returned to art school. Through a painful transformation developing over 7 years, I graduated from the Art Center College of Design on the mountain top. I was then called to fulfill my ancestral destiny and return to Turkey where my grandparents 70 years prior, founded the school I was to teach at.
