Marina Koloeridi is a modern Greek treasure. She was not allowed to bring any of her art works with her to America because they had been officially declared national treasures. Marina is a prodigy in every sense of the word, receiving her first award at the age of four and beginning her professional training when she was six. She completed her first professional exhibition at the tender age of 14 and was admitted to the Academy of Arts when she was only 15. She perfected her natural talent by over 20 years of study in Europe, where she learned the techniques of the Renaissance masters. Her studies encompassed a wide range of artistic expression, sculptures, frescoes, portraits and ceramics to name a few. And then went on to develop her own technique. Her works are found in private collections and some of the most famous museums in nations throughout the world, in Germany, Switzerland, Japan, Greece, Denmark and the “Red Square” in Moscow. She has completed numerous projects in interior and exterior design, created artwork for many churches and commercial buildings as well as illustrating numerous books in addition to her prolific career as a painter. Marina is now available to apply her talent to a wide range of large and small artistic endeavors for you. She can beautify your home, office, church, or other building with a breathtaking fresco, mural, or faux finish, immortalize a loved one in a stunningly beautiful color or black-and-white portrait from a “live” sitting or from a photograph, changing the hairstyles or clothing if desired.

Mary Papas was born in Egypt by parents of Greek descent. At age 10 the family moved to Libya in North Africa and after a year settled in Greece for 6 years where she attended Greek schools.

From a very young age Mary was sketching people, animals and the scenery around her, Sketching was her favorite way to pass time and Art was her best subject in school, always achieving the best marks! Later, when Mary could dedicate more time to art, she attended advanced painting classes for four years developing and learning different styles and techniques from leading professional art teachers and another three years for abstract studies learning to think and express these thoughts and ideas in an abstract way. Mary has received two awards for her abstract paintings, by taking part in International competitions with the U.K based gallery – Art Now in 2007 and the French based online gallery – Art Majeur in 2014.

Satoshi Doodles are expressions of gratitude for Satoshi and the Bitcoin builders. The progression of these drawings reflects a personal Bitcoin learning journey. These doodles are made with love, ink, and a giant pinch of salt on the West Coast of Canada, in between mothering, long walks, and puttering in the garden. They require massive amounts of “research” (i.e. too much time spent on social media and YouTube).
