Occupation artist
Location Canada
Introduction Born in Greece, now livinig in Canada. Have a younger Brother Harry. Married to Dimitry, have 2 daughters and 4 amazing grandkids. Realised life long dream of being an artist 20 years ago. Never looked back, art took off, still successful and in many galleries. Illustrated a childrens book in 2010. Honoured to have been the first Ottawa artist in 1993 to be selected as a UNICEF artist that sold worldwide my cards and the art was on the intenational brochure of UNICEF. Have had that honour over 10 times now. This was roaylty free for me, felt the money could be used for children worldwide to help in any tiny way to improve their lives. I paint children in outdoor settings mostly and only paint them doing fun, happy things that help children grow in a healthy enviroment. Being raised with love and securtiy I hope to show the same for the children I put on canvas. I wish to continue doing good art and make sure it's in places that people can see and appreciate it for its colour and meaning. and then in turn entice them to own a Mertikas piece to help make a wall come alive.
