Saime Kent YILDIRIM

I passed my childhood in Aydin. I was graduated from Aydın Secondary School and Highschool of Education in 1967. Meanwhile I keep on my profession, because of my endless passion for the pictures I passed the exams and started to take lessons from the Painting Department of Izmir Buca Education Faculty. I graduated from the university in 1982. I continued teaching for 30 years. I got retired in 1997. For years I worked with several techniques like pencilwork, I made portraits, created figures and designs. I took part in the activities of The Painting and Sculpture Museum. I created my own paintings with oil paint, acrylic and watercolor at the studio of the impressionist artist Ali Rıza Kırkan. I'm also a member of The Association of İzmir Watercolor Artists. I had many art exhibitions all over the country. Some of my paintings take part in the special collections in Turkey and abroad. I still continue my artwork in my own studio.
