After graduating from Uskudar American Academy, she completed her BA in Sabanci University (Visual arts and Visual Communication Design Program), Istanbul, Turkey. Subsequently, she received merit scholarships for postgraduate study (Fulbright Scholarship from USA and Endeavour Award from Australia). Currently she is a postgraduate student in Master of Studio Art program in Sydney College of the Arts, University of Sydney, Australia.
Most of her works are clear and self-explatory at first sight, but include deeper visual and intellectual content. Whether it is an installation of a table cloth decorated with plastic houseware images, or a gigantic coffee cup to read the future from, or an installation of a plaster crocodile with a shoe, all her works combine easthetics and local cultural elements with a call for thinking over the spots that are missed because of the fast pace of daily life.
