A native of Istanbul, born in 1935, Ayfer Gursoz arrived in Montreal in 1982.  Intending to visit for just a month, she fell in love with Quebec and remained, settling in old Montreal where she continued painting and teaching.

In 1995, seeking new vistas, she moved to the Eastern Townships where she lived until her death in 2008.

Shortly before her death, Ayfer Gursozwas the subject of a docu-portrait directed by filmmaker Yves Langlois,
winner of several awards and nominations around the world.
