Born in Melbourne in 1965 to Greek parents.
I started painting in my late teens as a way of exploring cultural, sexual, and gender relations, blurring reality and fantasy, creating my own make-believe world. My own Dream Realism.
The style of my work blends Surrealist and Expressionist elements with themes from mythology, converging with my personal interest in exploring social narratives - from the taboo through to gender politics - whilst celebrating our oneness with the natural world.
The work at first glance appears lyrical and fantastical, but when looking closer there is a deeper tale to be told.
