Introduction	My painting adventure started with Gaugeun's TV series on TRT in 1980. Then, I signed up for the Theater Training Studio course of Şan Theater in 1983. I had the chance to meet face-to-face with many famous actors and filmmakers. Gülriz Sururi, Engin Cezzar, Cüneyt Türel, Mehmet Akan (Sabri Bey-Bizimkiler) were our teachers. Altan Erbulak was the owner of the veteran Çevre Theater. I received an offer, but I could not evaluate it, I accidentally rejected it. I started painting again in 2000.I participated in group exhibitions on Istiklal Street such as Çekirdek Art, Pirosmani Gallery (international group exh.). I wrote articles promoting the works and biographies of painters in newspapers such as Yenimuhalefet and Haberkantini. I was not satisfied, I applied to ÖSYM for the academy and I won Istanbul University International Relations with a good score and graduated with honors. I started to do a master's degree. While I was completing my semester in Political Science at the same school with a high honor degree, I transferred to EMU in North Cyprus. I am at the thesis stage on feminism. Hello again to the painting.
