My Journey
‘’Painting for Kiki is a way of interpreting and expressing her emotional response to the subject matter she is working on. Her work is focused on memories, dreams and the subconscious where she explores ideas through her Greek and Australian upbringing where historical events, dreams and memories were made, Kiki frequently leaves the reference using it only as an inspiration thus creating her own unique piece of art. ‘’ Lydia Kullik Head Teacher TAFE NSW
