For more than three decades, she shared her wisdom as a dedicated professor of literature in secondary education, shaping young minds in various high schools.
Yet, Kaiti’s heart always harbored a deep love for painting, and her artistic journey was an autodidactic one. Her teachers were her thoughts and her soul, and her medium of choice ranged from oils and acrylics to watercolors and beyond. What sets Kaiti apart is her versatility, not limiting herself to one style. Her artistic expression flows seamlessly through realms of realism, surrealism, with profound ideological and philosophical undertones, and abstract expressionism.

Her artistic journey has taken her to more than 70 group exhibitions both in Greece and abroad, including Cyprus and Austria. She’s hosted three solo exhibitions in Chalkida, Greece, further solidifying her place in the art world.
Kaiti’s art transcends borders. In recent years, she represented Greece in international virtual exhibitions in Chile, Egypt, Syria, and Libya. Her exceptional contributions were also showcased in the collector’s edition artistic calendars of 2015 and 2017 by VIVLIONET publications.

Skarimpas in Chalkida. Many of Kaiti’s artworks have been donated for charitable purposes, benefiting organizations like the Agios Savvas Hospital, the Hatzipaterio Foundation, the I.
