She has two sons and three grandchildren. She lives and works in Volos, painting and writing fairy tales for children.
“Ever since I was a little girl I loved art, especially painting. I was fascinated by the myths of my country, grandmother’s fairy tales. I was also inspired by everyday stories. It helped me in my work with the kids, paint, and write my stories as well. My hometown, Volos, is situated northeast of the capital city, Athens, at the foot of Mountain Pelion. The mountain is well-known as the home of the mythical centaurs. From its port Jason with the Argonauts sailed his boat, Argo, to Colchis to retreat the Golden Fleece.”lihat lebih sedikit
