About Chrysoula Lile

Born in Greece, I had an instant connection with paints as a young child. I fouhnd comfort and inspiration in the encouragement I received form my first grade school teacher. A few years later, my artistic ambitions were intensified with a visit to art-rich Athens. Seeing the museum, the Parthenon, and the sculptures of the Hellenic masters, etc., a series of connections were made in my mind, and I desired to take up oil painting to join the artistic tradition. My work found much praise, and I received several scholarships for an artistic education, but they were never exercised.

Art for me is doing what I came into this world to do. Ever since I was little I loved to draw and paint. When I realized I had a talent for it and people loved my work, I decided to pursue it. It was become my way of expressing my feelings as well as my outlook on life.
