My name is Polyxeni and I'm from Houston, Texas and I often go by "Xenia" in Greece, and "Polly" in the states being that it is hard for some to pronounce. I have a multitude of medias to express my artistic talents including Hand-crafted Genuine Gemstone Jewelry, B/W & Color Photography, Pyrographic creations, Polymer Clay Art & hand coded HTML & CSS web design.
After high school, I went to the Art Institute of Houston for Photography for two years and have always had some project going whether it was a necklace for Mom or a one-of-a-kind birthday gift. I love the fact that what I was giving was specifically for that person and could not be bought at the local Wal-Mart. Gradually, jewelry fever circulated and Designs & Imaging By Xenia was born in 2001. By day I worked designing ads and street maps for cities and businesses around the Southeastern US and by night I beaded my little heart out. Slowly, my talents seemed to spread into other realms of articulation and in February 2005 I quit my job to follow my artistic path and take the business head-on and full-time. From pyrographic painted decorative boxes to polymer clay dragons and faeries, I will have you captivated with my colorful imagination.
I love creating beautiful things to bring into this sometimes-drab world! It's so therapeutic too! I have shown my work all over Houston and it's surrounding areas. As of now I have unveiled a new line of handcrafted jewelry designs in Maxmillian Hair located on Center Street in Deer Park. I am currently working with the LaPorte Art League to help promote local Artists and gain exposure within the Art World. You can always catch me at various festivals and venues around town including the famous Last Concert Cafe'.
I have sold works to people near and far, from California to the Netherlands. You can always shop at www.xeniadesign.com and expect "Xenia Quality" knowing that each piece is handcrafted with each client in mind. Subscribe to the xeniadesign newsletter and stay updated to see where she'll be next!
