Some Things About Me

I love anything mediterranean! Well, actually anything European and Caribbean. I'm a bitsa; part English, Irish, Scottish, German, Danish and Greek. My surname 'Zervos' came from my Dads side and his Grandfather came from the Greek Island of Kythira. Sometimes I feel like there is a part of my life missing. An ancient culture that has been passed down through generations, fading when my ancestors departed Europe and made the voyage to Australia.

Some Things About My Journey

In my twenties I lived in Scotland and travelled some of Europe and every day I have my head in the clouds dreaming of again travelling or moving to these destinations. Photo: Positano, Amalfi Coast.

Just as I turned thirty I was hit with Chronic fatigue. It changed the trajectory of my life. I was about to study Nutrition and Dietetics but the universe had other plans and put me on the path of art and design.

Next my partner and I travelled from San Francisco down to Argentina. On our return I studied Colour and Design. It was a brilliant course and as you can see in the photo I painted a lot of paint chips. Following that I had my first boy (Floyd). A few years later I studied Surface Patten Design and then had my second boy (Franco).

Where I'm At Now

When I joined the land of social media for my pattern designs, I started seeing the amazing world of art. I knew that one day I wanted to create my own paintings. I just didn't know it would happen this quickly. The universe has a wonderful way of bringing you what you need. So here I am now. Incorporating what I have learned from art, colour, design and patterns into my artworks. I am now looking forward to studying semi abstract, mixed media art techniques, so that will be my next endeavour.
