Meet The Artist
Yana Frangiskos Copek - PHOTOGRAPHER, ARTIST, GARDENER


Born in Athens and raised in the creative heart of New York, Yana is a multidisciplinary artist who has spent decades mastering the intersection of light, form, and flavor. While her early career earned her acclaim as an award-winning multi media artist and world-traveled photographer, she has recently turned her refined aesthetic toward a new medium: edible art.
Drawing on a lifelong passion for gardening and culinary exploration, Yana crafts small-batch, artisanal lollipops that serve as a canvas for nature’s beauty. Each piece is a hand-poured masterpiece, featuring vibrant, edible flowers harvested directly from her garden and infused with fresh, high-quality ingredients. For Yana, these treats are more than confections—they are a sensory extension of her fine arts background, blending the delicate detail of a photograph with the organic textures of the natural world.
Her transition into the culinary arts is a natural evolution of a creative career that has graced the covers of Classic Boat Magazine and filled galleries throughout the US and Europe. Now based on Long Island, Yana specializes in bespoke catering for events, including weddings, bridal showers, and private celebrations. Each "artful lollipop" is designed to be a gallery-worthy favor, uniquely tailored to your event’s theme.
