    ORIGINAL FEMINE

    Of Greek and Romany heritage, Penelope Smith-Carter Dichiera celebrates femininity through visual arts.

    In the span of her career Penelope has travelled the world, painting and displaying her works and in 1997 she was commissioned to restore 500 year-old icons in a private church in Corfu, Greece
