I was a designer and teacher in Istanbul, Turkey, for over 24 years. I earned my second Master's degree in Graphic Design in 2019 from SUNY Oswego, have shown work at the T. A. G.' 55 Annual Juried Exhibition, and have also won the Aulus W. Saunders Service Award twice. As an artist, I view my role as being one of the exposers of the situation, providing a voice for the oppressed, and offering an alternative that inspires change through my Strong Women exhibition (an ongoing project). I am currently a doctoral student in Art Education at the University of North Texas.
