He worked for a while as an artist for the New York Herald. He was awarded third prize for a work that was exhibited at the world fair in St. Louis in 1904, and won the right to American citizenship.〔 He married around this time. He went on to participate in exhibitions in various American cities and won prizes. In 1905 two of his oil paintings were shown at an exhibition in Portland, Oregon.〔 He became homesick for Turkey, and in 1912 he traveled to Istanbul, where he taught for a while at the Imperial Academy of Fine Arts (''Sanayi-i Nefise Mektebi''), predecessor of Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University. When World War I broke out in 1914 he decided to go to Tbilisi. There he spoke out against the Bolsheviks, and after the revolution in 1917 he was obliged to flee from Russia.
