About Theodora
Born in Athens, Greece and raised in Illinois, I am a graduate of The School of the Art Institute of Chicago with a bachelor of Fine Arts in Art Education.
Painting and drawing has been my ideal medium but I also have experience in photography, ceramics, and printmaking. My work is inspired from the people I meet, the places I’ve been, and from past experiences. At first, art was used as an outlet and a way of escape, but it has since become something I do for my growth, entertainment, and knowledge. I use an abundance of color and tend to work from life or photographs. I also enjoy exploring surreal and abstract art.
I hope my art elicits an emotion, reflection, and perhaps joy.
