Industrial Landscapes triptych
The desire to reflect and articulate a timeline of industrialization culminates in three paintings,inspired by social realist art and photography. The implications of a what has been at largedeemed progression have ranged from miraculous to suffocating in unintended consequences.Each piece places the viewer at a different distance from the focus, but enforces a diminutivesize of the viewer. Reference images are a combination of original photography andacademically sourced images.
Steelstacks Recollected
Bethlehem Steel is an immediate association with the Lehigh Valley, and a breathtakingbalance between beauty and sorrow, pride and remorse, dissension and hope. Thedissolving memory suggested by the selective rendering solidifies the motif of increasingvisual and mental clarity chronologically.
Incinerator Instance
The intensity described through the incinerator image intends to strike the viewer withthe literal and physical heat of the current climate. Having been taken at a locallyoperating factory, the initial sight was engulfing in the midst of a plant tour as part ofexperiential learning for a course in energy efficiency as a practicum.
Looking Latterly
An uncommon perspective of a wind turbine, the final piece in the series encourages theviewer to question what and where they are looking. The choice of a turbine to representthe future of production was intended to inspire general curiosity in sustainability, whilemaintaining a sense of awe at the subject at hand.

Graduating in May of 2022 from Lehigh University’s IDEAS program (honors integrated degree

in engineering arts and sciences), the artist has spent all years of education and early development exploring the world of science and innovation through an artistic and deconstructive lens. Born and raised in New York City with Greek Orthodox heritage, the artist has been enveloped in the community and rich history of Bethlehem, PA in her time as an undergraduate. 

Prior city-wide and national recognitions have resulted in art direction and set design for local productions, fundraising and advocacy thorough via commissioned works, and most notably, exhibitions at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and in Times Square. Her curiosity in global interdependence and sustainability has led her to the research and development of vertical axis wind turbines, passive cooling mechanics, and a prospective career in applications engineering, though art never leaves her means of analysis.
