Ozlem Tasel | Monument Sotheby’s International Realty I Art Gallery Event
October 3, 2024 @ 4:00 pm - 6:00 pm
Please join us on Thursday, October 3rd from 4-6 pm at our Clarksville Office & Gallery to enjoy the work of Ozlem Tasel.
Ozlem is a Maryland-based artist whose journey into the world of fine art is anything but conventional. Unlike most artists, her background is rooted in technology rather than liberal arts. After earning a B.S. in Business Administration, Ozlem pursued an M.S. in Information Technology from Johns Hopkins University. Earlier in her career, she found a creative outlet in graphic design, web design, and development.
Ozlem grew up in Istanbul, Turkiye, a city full of history, culture, and art that fostered her love for the arts at a young age. Her interest in art began in high school, where she took drawing classes. Over the years, she experimented with watercolor, acrylics, and water-soluble oils. However, it wasn’t until 2022 that she began painting with traditional oils, marking a significant turning point in her artistic journey.
For the past two years, Ozlem has been learning various traditional oil painting techniques and advancing her skills at the Zoll Studio School of Fine Art in Baltimore, Maryland. Her dedication to art has recently led her to start showcasing and selling her work, marking her emergence as a professional artist.
Ozlem specializes in still life, drawing inspiration from everyday objects and capturing the beauty of fruits, flowers, and animals. She also enjoys painting landscapes, adding diversity to her artwork portfolio. Her work reflects a deep appreciation for the simple, yet profound beauty found in the world around us.
