Guest Post based on Sue’s original article
Last year, Sue visited the Bodrum Peninsula. She wrote about it on her Suemtravels blog, and she’s graciously agreed to share her daily adventures with us.
During her stay she visited historical sights and some of the towns and villages in the area, and her articles provide some great inspiration for getting off the beaten path and discovering the surrounding sights
Bodrum Art
There is abundant street art to enjoy in Bodrum. I discover new delights every day. During one outing, I met some artists busy working on mosaics to grace the bustling city center.
Local artist Neslihan Zabci Erdal has a studio in Ortakent and she invited me to visit.
Neslihan’s studio offers mosaic workshops in the summer –http://www.bukalemunart.com. Some of the attachments to this post are examples of her fantastic work. She’s very talented and uses different mediums to create her art, including painting, mosaics, sculpture, ceramics, and graphic design!
Neslihan lived in Berkeley and other parts of the Bay Area for several years before returning to Turkey.
We have known Nesli for four years and every year we visit her with delight aft”er crossing Europe by car. What is impressive is her general knowledge. We travel extensively and meet many real artists on way. They all share an unending need to deepen their education in as many fields as possible. What makes them so nice to meet is to find eagerness in learning on two sides, theirs and of course ours. Nesli is certainly belonging to this type of earnest, gifted artist.
