I really never imagined I would become an artist. After nearly two decades practicing optometry, oil painting entered my life unexpectedly and led me down a whole new path.

It taught me to slow down and notice those little moments we so often overlook. And those moments continue to inspire the work I create today. 

I hope you enjoy my paintings and that they offer you a moment of pause in an often busy world.

Warmly, 
Didem
