NOVA-based collage artist Eleftheria Easley has created mixed media works since occupying her first studio space, a high-chair piled high with her family’s drafting tools and sewing notions. This formative environment fostered her resourcefulness and exploration of papers and textiles such as architectural design chroma paper and fabric scraps as raw materials for making art. Her representational, patterned and abstract pieces unlock the beauty and limitless potential of juxtaposed items and invite the viewer to share a connection through the materials and the associations they evoke.
Earning her BFA in Graphic Design at Boston University, Eleftheria has lived in the United States, Europe and Asia. In addition to exhibiting, she teaches workshops and supports local galleries with curation, installation and staffing. Recently, her work was selected for: the fall 2025 issue of Fiber Art Now’s Paper Made II international competition and the on-site exhibition at the Fort Wayne Museum of Art, WMATA Rosslyn Metro Station beautification efforts, and a solo show at the mosaicARTS Gallery. In addition, her work was also reviewed by Mark Jenkins at the Washington Post for Alliance Gallery’s inaugural exhibit Ad Astra Per Aspera, and she represented the Artists’ Undertaking Gallery on the PBS/WETA television show, “If You Lived Here.” She is a member of arts organizations including the Arlington Artists Alliance and Torpedo Factory Art League Gallery, as well as the global network, Women United Art Movement.
