Meet our guest editor duo this week, Vana Chupp and Theodora Miller of the STUΔIO! Vana Chupp began her love for silhouette art in 2008, growing from a small Etsy shop to a global business creating heirloom pieces. She transforms favorite photos into exquisite jewelry and personal accessories, consulting directly with clients to ensure each piece evokes lasting memories. Her work has been featured in Forbes, Glamour, and The New York Times. Born in Albania, Vana came to the U.S. over 25 years ago. She holds a Master’s in Architecture, enjoys hand illustrating, and is fluent in Greek and Albanian. Married to her college sweetheart Aaron, they have two boys and love traveling to Greece and Albania.
Theodora Miller turned to artful living as part of her healing after a traumatic brain injury. Now a thriving artist, ceramicist, and surface designer, her work draws inspiration from emotions, nature, Greek heritage, and ancient symbols. Her creations are featured in corporate collections and homes worldwide. Theodora is the daughter of a Greek immigrant and a member of Saints Constantine & Helen Greek Orthodox Cathedral. She lives in the Fan with her husband George, a cycling enthusiast, and their two bulldogs. They have three grown children and she is co-hosting the Art of Living Well Retreat in Greece this October.
Vana and Theodora, bonded by their Greek heritage and creative entrepreneurial journeys, have created a shared space in the historic Fan District. The STUΔIO, located at 2510 W. Main Street, is a hub for their artistic brands. Here, they offer client consultations, studio visits, workshops, pop-ups, and special events. Open by appointment, the STUΔIO embodies their commitment to creativity and connection. Learn more at studio-2510.com.
