I am a Canadian visual artist of Turkish origins and started my 'Journey in Art' on the West Coast of Canada re-locating to Niagara region of Ontario in 2013. I lived in Vancouver in beautiful British Columbia for 30 years, took courses at Emily Carr School of Fine Arts while pursuing a full time career in health care. I studied with many west coast artists, including Lori Goldberg, James Lindfield, Rita Monaco, Alex Ignatius and Hilary Kerr. I have been inspired by many more artists whose works I have been fortunate enough to see in various galleries all over the world. My works are in private collections in Canada, British Columbia and Ontario,Turkey and England. Photos during various travels and walks inspire my paintings, depicting landscapes and situations, small and large.

My move to Niagara region of Ontario has given me the opportunity to pursue my passion for painting. I studied painting -Visual Arts at Brock University. Now I am splitting my time between Ottawa and Niagara and continue to paint local scenes and scenes from my travels to capture moments and express with colours the beauty and mystery of...my journey in life …
