Welcome to Theo Online
Thank you very much for visiting my new and improved website. I was born in Uganda to Greek parents. My life has been spent mostly in East Africa (Uganda, Kenya) where I started painting as a young child. My art was influenced from living in the Bwindi Forest (also known as the Impenetrable Forest by others) for 18 glorious years.
My short stint in Art college made me realise that this mode of “formal” education was not meeting my needs as an artist. Hence I’ve decided to take a leap of faith and create my own style, which I feel is vibrant and alive yet highlights my passion for all things relating to conservation and nature. 
I’m equally at home painting on cloth, ceramics, water colours, canvas, murals on tiles, and recently ostrich eggs. I like to be versatile in both my media and subject matters. As such, I’ve created many commissioned works for large corporations and hotels.
If you’d like me to create an original work of art for you, please don’t hesitate to contact me using the link above.
Finally, many thanks go out to Pat Maxwell (aka Max The IT pro) for overhauling my website — using the latest web technologies (WordPress, ZenPhoto, MySQL, HostGator, social networking, etc.) — so that I can showcase my artwork to the global village. Please visit my online gallery when you get a chance!

My Exhibits
Over the past decade or so, I have taken part in 13+ art exhibitions at various art galleries, restaurants, hotels, craft shows, etc. I will try to gather some information about these past exhibits — if possible. However, please keep your eyes on this page for any news on my future exhibits. Now that I have a “new and improved” website, I will list everything relating to exhibits, projects (commissions, etc.), press articles, and so forth on their respective pages. After all, this is the Information Age.

My Community
As a single mother for a part of my life, I know first hand how challenging it can be to obtain a steady income. One of my former employees passed away as a result of HIV-AIDS. During that time, I felt that she needed to do something else that would occupy her time and earn an income, yet also keep her spirit and self-esteem high. The solution was beading.
Most importantly, this craft allowed her to earn additional income to support her kids. Over the years, I have trained approximately 10 single mothers and their children to produce beadwork for my greeting cards, tin cans, bottles, and wall hanging designs. As such, I’m more than happy to continue this initiative since it creates a possitive outcome on so many levels.
More pics will be added later to the gallery that will highlight the beadwork created by these talented individuals.
