We were lucky to catch up with Lady Vasiliki Mitchell recently and have shared our conversation below.

Lady Vasiliki, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. Can you talk to us about a risk you’ve taken – walk us through the story?

I have taken a risk of becoming a full-time contemporary artist. Stepping out on faith to see my art through. Allowing all of my emotions, good, bad, right, wrong , and indifferent to pour out and create some memorable pieces

As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?

Good Day, My name is Lady Vasiliki Mitchell. I’m an Artist by night and Field Operations Manager for Retail by Day. I am an 38 year old free- lance artist based out of Washington, DC. I am a painter that has sold commission pieces including apparel, shoes, and canvas. And even door mats. I am also a featured artist for many on apparel and sneaker collaborations.

I am passion driven about what I am creating with my art and tunnel vision in on purpose. Although I enjoy developing others success by training for Management, painting is what gives me my second wind. I’m an artist/ painter that enjoys pushing paint on any type of canvas.

I have been painting commission pieces for the past 6 years. And have recently started to feature my work in various Exhibitions up to date. I hope to have my work in many homes, yet idolized by the world! My niche of “abstract beauty” will win over millions!

Painting is a passion that is career driven for me and I intend to give it everything that I got!

How’d you build such a strong reputation within your market?

Being in front of the people. Being relatable to touch and talk to.

We’d love to hear a story of resilience from your journey.

I’m an introvert. So painting is my comfort. Pulling away from live painting and actually connecting with my audience. Taking a break from painting to talk with them is always important.
