Earth is peripherally located on the Local Arm of our Milky Way galaxy. Through space and time and human interconnectedness with our planet has influenced the way we create our legacy with storytelling, art, and everyday work in life.

Growing up with Greek parents has influenced me. My first exposure to the arts was Greek pottery, embroidery, music, and dance in my home. In my work, I also recall my memories of visits to my grandparents’ village in Greece including their stories, farm life, and objects that became meaningful to me.

I have always been fascinated by pottery designs, the utilitarian function of a vessel, and the stories they depict. The vessels of clay made of the very substance of our planet throughout time have been like a vast book telling humanity’s story.

I reference narrative objects in my drawings and paintings in order to tell my story through my art.
