I have been living in the village of Spartia in Kefalonia for 3 years now. Its a beautiful place and I'm very lucky to be here. When I lived in the UK I didn't have time for my art. Now I do! Every year I take part in the village annual art exhibition which takes place on a small cobbled street and I have also been lucky enough to do a solo exhibition thanks to Crowdfunder.
There are sooooo many creative people here. Not surprising really as Kefalonia is such beautiful and inspiring place.
I would like to create a small space within our community where we can come together, share ideas, socialise, make friends AND CREATE!
I know I am here for a reason and feel I have something much needed to offer this community. It may be the largest of the Ionian Islands but it is a seasonal place and the locals have little to do in the winter, especially the younger generation. Being a London girl in my youth, I can see the potential pitfalls of 'bored kids' and feel an art base for all ages could bring people together in a productive way and will undoubtedly improve mental health and well being.
My vision is to support and boost confidence in all artists and those who think they are not artists! Everyone is an artist in my eyes.
