The landscapes, various findings, the beach of Agios Nikolaos and its garden , they are four thematic sections, which are presented in a variety of media, such as painting, plan, engraving and photography, projects covering the decades 1976-2016 . It is a clear look from the workshop she has created in her home and shows her very special relationship with this island.
The first landscapes were painted 1976 and others much later. The maturity of the visual art goes hand in hand with the change of the landscape and gives us the possibility to follow the evolution of it and the island at the same time.
