Because art has moved beyond the traditional institution and trickled down into community arts initiatives and alternative collectives, the way it is produced and consumed has also shifted. This is where new genres of art, and participants without traditional art backgrounds, come into play.

It’s been a while since the last time I’ve blogged. A busy summer and a move to a new city has kept me quite occupied over the last few months.

My art expresses the idea of nostalgia for a time and a place that I have not experienced to its full potential - yet.

The colours and the chaos comfort me.

Walk down any street in Athens, and I guarantee you will find some form of graffiti -- a tag, or a throw-up, or a full on mural.

Today I’m really thinking about the way we access art and how it’s changed in the past year.
