I was born in Athens, Greece, and moved to the U.S. to pursue my studies, earning a BA in Arts from Cal State University in Long Beach. After managing two art cafes in Athens, Greece for seven years, I returned to the States with my husband and son, settling in Las Vegas, NV. With newfound time after years of owning a business, I rediscovered my love for painting, focusing on familiar faces captured in photos from the past and rendered through my art. My professional journey took a turn as I ventured into luxury sales and briefly worked as a closet designer, combining my passions for design and fashion. During the Covid isolation of March 2020, I found comfort in painting again, this time inspired by pets that provided solace during challenging times. While painting remains my primary passion, I've also recently embraced furniture renovation and restoration, bringing together elements of design, art, and style that enrich my life.
