Maria Klokkou is a Canadian immigrant who originally hails from the
Romney Marsh in Kent, England where she successfully owned and
operated an art gallery for more than 10 years.
Maria has dedicated her life to the arts, and actively works towards
fostering young artists and helping them in developing their talents. Her
dream is to create an art district on Lundy's Lane in the vicinity of the
existing Romney House Gallery in Niagara Falls, Canada. She sees this
as an excellent way to promote the arts within the Niagara region and
to leave a lasting mark within the community. As an active community
volunteer, Maria has been involved in various art projects. Some of
these projects include:
* A 24" x 36" oil painting donated for the 50th Anniversary of the
Niagara Symphony.
* A limited edition print commemorating the 25th Anniversary of the
Niagara Regional Police which featured the signature of Queen
Elizabeth II.
* A large painting donated for the Breast Screening Clinic at the St.
Catharines General Hospital.
Most recently her painting, 'Pink Poppy,' was chosen as the new logo
for the Life After Breast Cancer Society of Hamilton. As a breast cancer
survivor, this accomplishment is near to Maria's heart. Maria plans to
continue her work to promote the arts, and develop her dream of realizing
an art district in Niagara Falls.
