| | MOKI KOKORIS
Moki Kokoris trained as an architect, with a degree from Cooper Union and worked for several years as an architect in New York City. She also received a diploma in piano from the Ukrainian Music Institute. In 2003, she became the first Ukrainian woman (and the 14th woman overall) to reach the North Pole. Based on these achievements, Moki became a UN representative for the World Federation of Ukrainian Women’s Organizations and has also served on UN committees on climate change. An active member of the Explorers Club, editor of the The Polar Times and author for the World Ecology Report, she founded 90-North, introducing students to the Arctic. Moki is a member of the Society of Scribes and the International Association of Master Penmen, Engrossers and Teachers of Handwriting. She has been a freelance calligrapher, artist, illustrator and graphic designer for over 40 years, establishing a notable reputation for her artistic work. Moki is as passionate about visual arts, particularly calligraphy in its classical forms, as she is about the Arctic. In many of her high-end calligraphy commissions, she uses authentic animal skin parchment, and swan quills or reeds she often collects and cuts herself. Moki is a Ridgefield resident (and a confirmed chocoholic). She teaches at The Art Spot and other venues. See Moki's website (True North Graphics) here. |
