About the Artist
Georgina Alice is an interdisciplinary portrait artist who works with mediums such as film, photography, music, charcoal, oil paint, and performance art. She has her Bachelor of Arts in Studio and Performance Art and her work is predominantly focused on the comparison and correlation of women’s issues and nature. She is influenced by artists who challenge the norm and push limits with deep thought and research such as Ana Mendieta, Kehinde Wiley, Frida Kahlo, and Bill Viola. She is a British American citizen and creates work from a multinational background bringing personal into political work. She grew up in Boulder, Colorado often traveling to the U.K. before moving across the country to study fine art in Virginia. She believes choosing a liberal arts education instead of going to a traditional art school greatly impacted her art. The most influential courses she has taken for her visual art were sociology, gender and women's studies, and dance courses. She thrived on the deep intellectual theories and put them into her visual and performative work. She never wanted to make art that was just beautiful, she wanted it to have a purpose and make people think as well.
