Growing up in Istanbul, art was my passion. Later, after leaving as a political refugee, I lived and worked as a doctor in London for over 30 years.

Now art is a major of my part of my daily life. 

I have always been happiest by the sea and coastal areas inspire me with their visual beauty, sounds and smells.  This year I have been concentrating on painting landscapes of Patagonia. The vast and most impressive landscapes, the different way of life and the implications of the major glaciers on the climate change made my trip most interesting. I also started painting flowers this year. They brighten my days.

I am a member of the London Painters and Sculptors Group, Hesketh Hubbard Art Society and the Medical Art Society.  I regularly exhibit with these groups.
