Mehmet Habip

About the Artist
Mehmet was born in Antakya, Turkey (a very nice town in the south, on the Mediterranean coast) in 1953. He still lives there. Heused to be a bank manager but is now retired. He has three daughters, one is a doctor and the others are at the university, studying engineering.

Since his childhood, Mehmet's drawing was really very good, so he decided to take up Pyrography' because it is a really different art. He attended a workshop named ''Gülbol Woodburning '' and developed his technique there. Sometimes he asks Mr Selahattin Ölçeroglu to criticize his work as he always gives good advice.
