Evangelia Philippidis Born and raised in Athens, Greece until the age of nine, Evangelia Philippidis immigrated to to the United states in 1966 to continue a journey that has ultimately led her back to her roots. Her childhood memories of climbing the Acropolis with her father, of running through the parthenon and around its massive columns; touching the polished marble works of sculptured art created by the great ancient Greek masters have remained intact even as she struggled to embrace her new home: America. Lorain, Ohio is middle America plain and simple, and a strange place to be for a little Greek girl unable to comprehend a new language. But throughout those uncertain years of learning to live in a new world, Evangelia kept those special places of her youth close to her heart and her unique style of illustration bears this out. As a full-time Designer/Illustrator for the Columbus Dispatch for 22 years, Evangelia's award-winning work was featured regularly on its pages; not surprising most prominently on the Faith and Values section. Editorial illustration is perfectly suited to her scratchboard technique and her penchant for storytelling (a favorite greek pastime). She is owner of an illustration and design studio - Silver Moon Graphics a adjunct instructor of illustration at The Columbus College of Art & Design, and is nationally recognized for her work.
