Hello

​

My name is Effie Iliopoulos a mother, wife, grandmother, and mostly an artist.

​

I have been an artist as long as I can remember, from a very young age I would look for paper and pencil to draw.  Over the years besides pencil drawings, I have been in some form of art, sewing, cross stitch, tapestries, porcelain doll making ( I am a grandmaster, triple crown and master educator of doll making).

​

I took up acrylic painting in the last 7 years doing Mandalas which I love.  My main interest is people, I love to draw and paint faces.

Lately I have been challenging myself to see what else I am capable of painting. I have surprised myself and am now of the thought that “I Can” do that. Exploring subjects that never interested me before…. but that is progress I suppose.  With everything you do you need to explore all sides to it, that’s how you grow.  

Art takes me to a special place, I get lost in my art work.
