Exhibitions & Projects
Professional Activity
Museum recognition, contemporary studio research, and public engagement.
Museum Recognition
North Carolina Museum of Art Museum Store
A selection of original hand-marbled silk scarves has been featured at the North Carolina Museum of Art Museum Store in Raleigh, North Carolina.
Each scarf is individually hand-marbled using the traditional Turkish Ebru technique on fine silk, reflecting exceptional craftsmanship and contemporary artistic practice.
Studio
Contemporary Studio Practice
Current studio research focuses on expanding Turkish Ebru through silk and natural stone.
The ongoing Between Water and Stone series explores the dialogue between natural materials and the fluid language of marbling, while silk works continue to investigate movement, transparency, and color through one of the oldest water-based art traditions.
Public Engagement
Talks, Programs & Demonstrations
Artist talks, exhibitions, demonstrations, educational programs, and collaborative projects introduce audiences to the history, philosophy, and contemporary evolution of Turkish Ebru.
As a Teaching Artist at Pullen Arts Center in Raleigh, North Carolina, Zeynep leads workshops and educational programs that share the technique and cultural significance of Ebru with the public.
