She earned BA and MA degrees in Istanbul State Fine Arts Academy and Department of Decorative Arts and trained by such masters like Prof. Sabri Berkel, Prof. Kerim Silivrili, Prof. Sabih Gözen and Sacit Okyay.

She realized fabric pattern designs for private ateliers between 1973 and 1990. She still has been following her studies on paper marbling starting from 1971 and in her own atelier since 1991 also giving lessons.

The artist has attended several personal and group exhibitions and knows English.

" I think that the art of paper marbling is a plastic art technique that is open to innovations and suitable for contemporary changes and offering numerous opportunities. Due to the fact that, paper marbling is traditional painting technique of Turks I suppose that this art will be deemed among the contemporary arts through learning its techique properly, teaching it accurately and making painting via this technique. The art of marbling is open to all kinds of colours, motifs and designs. It is possible to realize new initiatives with modern materials as well as traditional ones; one needs to use suitable colours in the performances on these different materials like fabric, glass, ceramics, wood etc. Then it means the variety of materials. Considering the traditional paper marbling I often employ wavy paper marbling technique in my paintings. I also maintain my performances selecting such themes like views, volcanoes, hearts, leaves etc."
