Emerging artist and spiritualist, Tia Koulianos, channels her art work due to a near-near death experience which awoke her connection to the Divine. While learning to balance her life with illness colors became part of her spiritual language. Chanting, toning and meditation are part of her process as much as is the element of play. With oil paint, acrylic, oil pastels and drawing she focuses on figurative, abstract and the natural world in her work.
Koulianos was born in 1969 in the New York City Suburbs. She lives and works in White Plains, NY. Her Father was an art teacher at a Scarsdale Elementary School. Her Mother is a Columbia University English Literature graduate and author. Koulianos has studied sculpture (Under Sarah Katz and Barney Hodes) and design at various schools throughout New York City. Her work is in private collections in NY, CA, SD, NC and Sweden.
