I have participated in several group exhibitions including some national competition exhibitions. I won the first prize in one of the important national art competitions ‘2. T.R.T. Painting and Ceramics Competition in 2003.Ihave participated in many group shows. I had 4 solo exhibitions in different cities in my country.
My works are made of wheel thrown red and white clay body, glazed and fired at 10400C. I was inspired by the mother earth goddess figurines. Now my figurines are turning into women but they are still fat or pregnant because they are symbolizing fertility of a woman, as goddess figurines do thousand years ago.
