As a contemporary artist, I am deeply passionate about exploring my dual heritage and how my Greek heritage has informed my identity and inherent aesthetics. This exploration into self has developed into a passion for experiencing other cultures around the world and observing both, our similarities, and unique differences. The awareness of how much this should be celebrated has never been more relevant than now.
Throughout history, bones have been associated with ritual, simultaneously representing life, death, and transition. Through utilising bones as icons of self, combined with thread and weaving I express complex narratives of feminine power, strength, wisdom, and ability to live a positive spiritual life.
A recent visit to the exhibition ‘Feminine Power the Devine to the Demonic’, has provided insights into perceptions of femininity within spiritual traditions through a global lens. I am fascinated by the beliefs and cultural attitudes and the diversity of perceptions toward feminine strength as represented throughout world religion, mythology, culture and art.
As I continue to expand on my work following my residency in the High Atlas Mountains of Morocco it is no surprise the my work and world have exploded into colour! With my first Solo exhibition in Melbourne in October 2025, I look forward to sharing this new work and how it has profoundly impacted my making.
My Practice
Based in Melbourne Australia.
I am deeply passionate about culture and identity. As I navigate life, my work is a representation of feminine power expressed through sculptural self-portraits.
Fascinated with themes of ritual and human ecology, my work philosophically reflects on the impermanence of life and memento mori. As I closely observe human ecology, I create artworks in response to my lived experience of the human behaviour I observe around me.
A trip to Morocco in 2022 disrupted a six-year reign of working with black. My world burst into colour transforming my practice. As I came full circle, I finally understood the exquisite ebb and flow of the equilibrium of light and shadow.
I look forward to sharing the next chapter with you as I return to Morocco for a month long residency in the High Atlas Mountains in late 2023.
