NOVA-based collage artist Eleftheria Easley has created mixed media works since occupying her first studio space, a high-chair piled high with her family’s drafting tools and sewing notions. This formative environment fostered her resourcefulness and exploration of papers and textiles as raw materials for making art. Her representational, patterned and abstract pieces unlock the beauty and limitless potential of juxtaposed items and invite the viewer to share a connection.

Earning her BFA in Graphic Design at Boston University, Eleftheria has lived in the United States, Europe and Asia. Her award-winning work regularly exhibits as part of shows in galleries, online and in public spaces, recently expanding her reach to include national and international audiences. She also teaches workshops and supports local galleries with curation, installation and staffing. She is a member of arts organizations such as the Arlington Artists Alliance and Torpedo Factory Art League Gallery, as well as the global network organizations, Women United Art Movement and Art Queens Society.
