Thanks to her high performances as a student, she earned a scholarship from the Academy of Athens and the following year she moved to France for further studies at the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris under César and Leonardo Cremonini.[2][3]

After her graduation Vordoni returned to Greece where she resides. Furthermore, she partially spends some months per year in Paris, where she owns an atelier provided to her by the French government for artistic reasons.[2][3][4]

Vordoni has shown her work in numerous individual and group exhibitions in Greece, France, Monaco, Belgium, United Kingdom, Italy, United States, Australia etc.[2] Her paintings and sculptures can be found in private collections, museums and cultural institutions including National Gallery of Greece, Queens Museum of New York,[2] Vorres Museum[5] and Athens Art Gallery[4] as also in public spaces like Kifisias Avenue in Athens and Kefalonia Botanica[6] in Argostoli.
