Her works have been exhibited widely in Greece and abroad, and are included in museum and public and private collections internationally. Korovessi studied from 1970 to 1975 at the Athens School of Fine Arts under various teacher sculptors including Dimitri Kalamara. From 1985 she became specifically interested in the sound analysis of words, inspired by the work of Iannis Xenakis. Korovessi begun to create works that show the use of technology, music and science, resulting eventually in the 'sound-sculptures' which were later called SonArt. In 2008, Korovessi was awarded the Silver Olympic Medal Award in the International "Olympic Spirit in Beijing 2008" Sculpture Competition. From July 5 - September 1, 2013 the artist opened her exhibition at the National Archeological Museum of Athens, Greece titled Retrospective: Time, Form, Concept.
