Turkish painting teacher and marbling artist Bingül Sevimli, who is living in New York, has been teaching the Turkish art of marble to Turks and U.S. citizens in various states in the country since 2007. Sevimli is a graduate of Uludağ University Painting Department in the northwestern province of Bursa. 

“Actually, people in the U.S. show interest in the art of marbling and want to get involved in it. I see this interest in the festivals I attend. New York is the center of art, but we don’t have a workshop or a gallery here to display our work. To take the advantage of such interest, it is very urgent for us to have an art center for the promotion of this art,” she said.
