About Me
I was born in Sivas-Divriği in 1958.
I completed my primary and secondary school education in Kocaeli Tütünçiftlik, and my high school education at Adapazarı Atatürk High School.
I worked in different branches and at different levels of Public Banks for many years. After retiring in 2004, I settled in Balıkesir-Edremit-Altinoluk town.
I took part in social and cultural activities in Non-Governmental Organizations.
I love photography, swimming, nature and cultural trips.
After I started taking photographs, my perspective on objects, living things, in short, life changed. I realized that a small detail can make a person happy and that happiness can be shared with others by conveying the beauties you see to others through photography. I saw that life can be added color by discovering new places and making new friends through art.
I participated in the Project called Visual Stories from My Homeland, organized by TFSF, with a joint effort with some of my friends.
I participated in Olive from Field to Table, Women’s Labor, Kaz Mountains and Group Exhibitions with my photographs.
I will try to carry this awareness to better levels under the Edremit Photography and Cinema Art Association (EDFOD).
