“Bikini Girls” chosen for Athens Voice cover.

My painting, Bikini Girls, was discovered via SaatchiOnline.com
and chosen to grace the cover of the summer issue of Athens Voice,
a weekly newspaper out of Athens.
Though I can’t read a word of the text,
the cover looked great and and it was a thrill to be seen in Greece.
