| Biggest Artistic Inspiration |
Of her artistic inspiration she says, “I am a very independent person and probably my paintings are too. I don’t paint because of the trend, or mode, I paint because something or somebody fascinates me. It could be nature, a face, a story, an event, colors (especially, I adore strong colors ), a song, an object, my feelings, my thoughts, my dreams: never ending possibilities of improbability. I definitely love beauty. I am trying to express my personal sense of beauty and truth in my paintings.So every painting is different. There is not only one style in which I like to work .I traveled to the four corners of the earth, and each place I visited added to my desire for unique artistic expression.Wherever I went, I found new influences directing my brush strokes or guiding my hands as I worked at my paintings or sculptures.’’
Living in Istanbul between Asia and Europe inspires me greatly.I have a chance to see and live both sides.I respect both tradition and modernty.

| Your Personal Biography |
My initial recollection of any artistic aspirations was my attempt at three years of age to decorate the wooden staircase in our home by painting fish on
each step. My parents had the audacity to attempt to remove my youthful artwork, but by using a kid's weapons of crying and tears, I quickly drew a line beyond which they knew they could not go. Quickly retreating from the fray, they demonstrated their pride in my precocious splashings of paint by placing plastic wrap over each of my fishes, thereby preserving them for what seemed to me at the time to be posterity. The reverence shown for my talent by my parents instilled in me an inspiration for artistry that has stayed with me since that time. That inspiration would surface again in the future. Notwithstanding that my gaily colored fishes clashed with our classic English furniture, the conflict in styles became secondary to the encouragement given to me by my parents.
As I grew older, traditional considerations prevailed, and I studied hard, finally achieving my university diploma and medical degree. Having satisfied my familial obligation, I began to understand that being an artist is real work, requiring further education and a honing of my skills. That in mind, I enrolled at the London College of Fashion Design, where I spent two years before receiving my diploma in fashion design.
In between stints as a fashion designer, I traveled to the four corners of the earth, and each place I visited added to my desire for unique artistic expression. Wherever I went, I found new influences directing my brush strokes or guiding my hands as I worked at my paintings or sculptures.
As I entered my thirties, I was drawn more and more toward a new life focus,
pulling at me from every direction. In the same way that my medical
background was useful in making me familiar with human anatomy, so my work as a fashion designer inspired the use of different materials and ornaments instead merely
of paint.
In addition, living in Istanbul on the line dividing East from West, Europe
from Asia, has given me a unique perspective that is reflected, I believe, in my artistry. I leave it to those who view my paintings to determine for themselves the extent to which my work has become post-impressionistic and to which
I have pioneered in nouveau art forms.
