Lisl Tulunay is an oil painter, illustrator and printmaker from the Pacific Northwest. Her work reflects moments of observed life, drawing from her experiences living in Türkiye, as well as her current life on a farm in Oregon. From fishermen by the Bosphorus in Istanbul, to a shepherd and her sheep in the PNW, or a shared meal around a table, Lisl narrates the in-between moments of daily life lived by ordinary people around her. She is captivated by the tangible, present moments of community, and through her work she seeks to weave together the meaning she finds in her multi-cultural life. While her craft is often a personal meditation of her immediate world, Lisl’s work is accessible and resonates with viewers from all walks of life. Her artwork has been shown in galleries throughout Türkiye, the USA, the UK and North Africa.
