Stephany Veldemiry is an Archaeological Findings and Works of Art preserver and cooperates with Greek museums (Archaeological Museum of Thessaloniki, Byzantine Museum of Thessaloniki, Institute of Archaeology, Museum of Natural history of Iraklion, The Lesvos Petrified Forest European and Global Geopark) and institutions abroad (University of Missouri St. Louis, Smithsonian Institution, American Museum of National History), concerning the preservation of archaeological findings and works of art, as well as making casts and copies of fossils along with art objects for display.

She also works as a preserver in situ during excavation periods but also in research periods by attending the “Iklaina project” program, at the prehistoric dig in Iklaina.

Since she became a mom, meaning since 2002, she wanted to find a simple and playful way to infuse her love for works of art and commonly used items of every age to children. Thus, she started working as an artist teacher to full time grade schools and teaching Art History to children through interactive activities, games, experiential exercises, audiovisual stimuli and more importantly through smiling and a cheerful but disciplined atmosphere.

During recent years she is occupied with illustrating children books and drawing and 5 individual art displays which the paintings were accompanied by Kostas Stoforos’s fairytales are credited to her, while the children had an active part in the action and the development of the story.

She often receives young children to her studio where, depending on their mood they play, learning through art.\

Stephany loves to be in touch with the world of children and feels happy when she is allowed in that realm. That is how she feels as an arts teacher after class: Happy.
