Yükselle’s paintings depict the moods and colours of the Great Lakes, the beautiful Sweet Water Sea-Huron and Georgian Bay, and the romance of the lakes district of Muskoka region.

Yükselle’s paintings sell internationally; she is a member of Southampton Arts Centre.

Her latest solo exhibition was between January and April 2025 at the Bruce County Museum and Cultural Centre.

She studied at The Academy of Fine Arts—University of Mimar Sinan in Istanbul, Türkiye.
