Sevasti Boutos

Welcome to My Artistic Journey

My name is Sevi, and I am a passionate visual artist and poet based in New York. I create vibrant and emotive pieces that reflect my unique perspective and experiences. My work spans various mediums, including pastels and mixed media, and has been showcased in numerous exhibitions and private collections.

Cultural Inspiration

As a Greek community member, I draw inspiration from my heritage and the rich cultural tapestry surrounding me. This diverse background informs my art, allowing me to explore various themes and emotions.

Artistic Background

Throughout my career, I have engaged in various forms of artistic expression:

- **Veterinarian in Greece**: This role nurtured my deep appreciation for nature and all life forms.
- **IT Troubleshooter in the United States**: This experience honed my problem-solving skills and provided a unique perspective on modern life.
- **Bilingual Published Poet**: My poetry complements my visual art as I weave together words and images to express my thoughts.

In addition to painting and sketching, I enjoy sewing and decorating my clothes, experimenting with digital media, and creating mixed-media installations. Each piece I create reflects my perspective and emotio...

After graduating with honors from Hunter College of CUNY, majoring in Pure Mathematics, Statistics, and Economics, I completed all the undergraduate coursework in lab art. I also took sketching, watercolor, and fresco painting courses at the Art Student League and Pastel Society of America. Additionally, I have taken art courses in pastel and sketching at the Salmagundi Club and the Pastel Society of New York.
I was a certified Veterinarian who worked for fifteen years in Athens, Greece, before immigrating to the States.

My exhibitions are based on collaborations with my poetry rehearsals in New York.
The Greek community, notably the Writers Association, is organizing a painting exhibition for me in broader New York this spring.
