I was born in Heraklion Crete Greece in 1986 where I live permanently.I am a graduate of the philosophy school of the university of Crete as well as graduate of Byzantine music.I worked many years as a musician playing traditional greek instruments and also worked one year as music teacher in the music school of Rethimno Crete.Ι never worked as a philologist despite my studies!From a young age I liked to make things mostly out of wood like toys.When I was a student at university I started making miniature musical instruments that I would give away to my friends,and I was so happy with that!!Later in my beginner workshop I was making wooden bow ties,wooden jewellery and little furniture..In 2020 the wood lathe came into my life after seeing many many videos on YouTube and actually enchanted me!!I began to make pens, mortar and pestle sets,bowls,platters and so!!Later with the help and advice of good friends and woodturners I started making hollow forms and more "difficult" pieces!! Recently I realized than I can express myself through my work on the lathe and I am experimenting in more free form with persistence and patience to achieve that.In November 2023 I had the honor end the happiness to be part of the holiday exhibition at wood symphony gallery with 2 new pieces..I am actually self taught but I feel lucky that I have good friends and fellow woodturners that have given me great advice about woodturning!!I am member of the greek woodturning team and I have demonstrate two times at the greek symposium!!Happy to be here..among such great artists!!
