My name is Georgia. I am a self taught multimedia artist. I started doing art as a young girl to cope with the strife of having a heart disease which limited what I could do physically. Over the years, art has been a therapeutic outlet for trauma and health issues in my life. I do custom work, such as portraits, when I am not creating for professional settings. Although I can do fun art, my preference is to do raw and deeply emotional work relating to mental illness or art therapy. I tend to do most of my artwork after mental health therapy as a way to cope with symptoms of mental illness, process trauma, and practice mindfulness exercises. This allows each piece of art I make to assist in my healing journey. 

      I painted a Buddha mural in an electronic cigarette store in Castle Rock, Co early 2017.  In July 2018, I won best in show at Twentyone8 Gallery in Colorado Springs, CO which resulted in a 2 month show at Pikes Perk Coffee Shop. In 2019 I won a scholarship and became a member at Next Gallery in Lakewood, CO. I also illustrated a children's book 'Crow and the Rainbow' for a local Colorado writer which came out February 2020. I am currently working on two more books for future publication.
