Born in London in 1979 to a Greek Cypriot family, I discovered my love for patterns and nature early in life. At 14, M.C. Escher’s work ignited my artistic journey, but it was my grandmother—an incredible lady who transformed wartime hardship into art—whose act shaped my understanding of creativity as a healing force. Her resilience in creating beauty amid adversity became the foundation of my own approach to art as a way to process life’s complexities.

I built my artistic foundation at La Sainte Union School and Hampstead Fine Arts College before completing a Foundation in Art and Design at Wimbledon School of Art. I went on to earn a BA (Honours) in Fine Art at Central Saint Martins. Over the years, my work has been exhibited internationally, including at The Flux Factory in New York and The Vinopolis in London. My photographic work was licensed through a leading stock agency to organizations such as BBC and Microsoft, and I was also a Contributing Photographer to Getty Images. My fine art pieces are represented in Bridgeman Images’ Contemporary Library, and I have work featured at Camden Collective. Alongside my creative practice, I spent a decade teaching in London colleges and working as a freelance educator.

In 2019, after the loss of my father, I returned to creating art full-time. What emerged was an intuitive approach to pattern-making—a process that became both a form of healing and the foundation of my artistic voice. My work spans colourful paper collages, paintings, and screen prints, guided by intuition rather than rigid design. Each composition evolves organically, forming abstract, asymmetrical patterns that reflect both inner landscapes and natural forms.

As an active member of ArtCan and Crouch End Open Arts Studio, I remain deeply connected to London’s artistic community. My debut solo exhibition, ‘A Language of Healing’ at The Playroom Gallery in Archway (November 2024), is both a retrospective of my signature style and a chronicle of my journey from grief to joy through artistic expression.

Looking ahead, I continue to explore new dimensions in pattern work, pushing the boundaries between intuition and intention. This year, I will be exhibiting at The Affordable Art Fairs in Battersea and Hampstead. I will also take part in a residency with a | space | between, where I will be creating therapeutic exercises for art packs that will be distributed to over 20 hospitals nationwide for patients and staff in July and August.
