About Aphrodite | Art Work

Aphrodite is featured in the recent Destination Magazine. [ Read Article Here ]

Aphrodite has loved to sketch all her life. In 1988 her award winning paintings, exhibited at the Greater Haverhill Arts Association in Haverhill MA, drew the attention of Boston's Copley master artist, Mark Hayden.

Aphrodite worked with Mr. Hayden honing her skills for two years when he directed her to a workshop led by New York N. A. master artist Daniel E. Greene under whom she then studied portraiture over a period of three years.

While continuing her portrait studies with Mr. Hayden, Aphrodite painted sports figures which included Kirby Puckett, Mo Vaughn, Drew Bledsoe, Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, Ray Bourque, and Dino Radja. Many of these originals can be viewed at the New England Sports Museum in Boston, MA.

In 1996 a visit to the tropics evoked a new direction of subject matter for the New England native. Since then Aphrodite has established herself as a Caribbean artist in the US Virgin Islands, winning numerous awards at the annual tri-island Caribbean Color exhibitions.

Currently Aphrodite is a member of the St. John Arts Association USVI where she serves on the board, a member of the St. Thomas / St. John Arts Council and a member of the Citrus County Arts League.

".. I must say this is an exciting endless learning process where ideas never cease and new and greater challenges constantly arise. .. I (therefore) know this endeavor will continue to captivate me ... for a lifetime".
