Artist Statement:
NOVA-based collage artist Eleftheria Easley has created mixed media works since occupying her first studio space, a high-chair piled with art supplies. This formative environment fostered her resourcefulness and exploration of papers and textiles as raw materials for making art. Her representational and patterned pieces unlock the beauty and potential of juxtaposed items and invite the viewer to share a connection.
Earning her BFA in Graphic Design at Boston University, Eleftheria is also a military veteran who has lived across the United States, and in both Europe and Asia. Her work regularly exhibits as part of juried and non-juried shows in galleries, online and in public spaces. She is currently a member of arts organizations around northern Virginia to include the Mosaic Arts Gallery, ArtsFairfax, the Van Landingham Gallery at the Torpedo Factory Art Center, the Artists’ Undertaking Gallery, Gallery Underground and the Arlington Artists Alliance.
