Moralis, and ceramics (1963-1965) and later scenography and interior design (1967-1969). She made her first solo exhibition in Cairo in 1962 and continued with a number of other individuals and groups in Greece and abroad, such as the Biennale of Sao Paulo and Alexandria. Her work, which moves in the field of geometric abstraction, has given a distinctive personal idiom.
