Who am I?

Hello! I’m Rita.

In another life, I studied English Literature and earned a PhD in Comparative Literature. I thought I would follow an academic career, but life had other plans. After spending years in the United States and England, I returned to Katerini, where I now live with my family.

I picked up a paintbrush for the first time at the age of 40. Before I discovered chalk paint and the world of DIY, I couldn't even sew on a button! And yet, painting awakened something inside me. What began as simple furniture painting gradually became a deeper need—for creativity, artistic expression, and making things with my own hands.

I believe that creating is a fundamental human need, part of our soul and our longing for self-expression. No matter our age or what else is happening in our lives, creativity helps us express joy, channel sadness, and release frustration. It is a form of therapy.

If you're in the same boat and feel ready to take the next step—to create unique furniture pieces that reflect who you are—you've come to the right place.

Scroll down to find what suits you best, and if you need any help, just send me a message.

Welcome to my world ✨

Happy creating,
