As soon as I finished “Goodbye Daddy” I started making Always; it is the second piece that I have done after my father passed away. Dry falling leaves, the black tree and birds which leave for warmer places surely remind of fall time. Though there is still sadness in the air, fresh flowers in the opposite corner describe the hope.

Always was exhibited for the first time in the Naftalin Kokusu exhibition, which took place in October 2004 in the Ankara Modern Arts Gallery (Cagdas Sanatlar).

Dreamer is a teaching technique sampler for my beginner’s class. Every other week they learn different techniques from all around of the world. I believe that by this way they develop a really strong artistic and technical background for further work, which is very important especially when I am training instructors.
