"I am receiving cancer treatment. The painting course I attended at the center was therapy for me. While painting, I never thought that I was sick. I transferred my inner feelings to painting. I am glad that this course has been opened. My advice to housewives is that they should definitely attend the courses. I would like to thank our President Veysel for providing us with these opportunities. I also hope that 2026 will be a good year in which violence against women ends."

I wanted to reflect this in my painting. I am someone who always wants to improve myself. I think the painting course contributed to my personal development. I would like to thank our Mayor of Altındağ, Veysel Tiryaki, for the opportunities he provided us. Happy Women's Day to all the hardworking women."
