was born in Brooklyn, New York, in 1964.  She graduated with a degree in Creative Writing.  Her mother, an art teacher, encouraged Georgianne to follow her passion and to take art seriously.  Self-taught, she began painting in 2001.Today, an accomplished painter, she has had many successful solo exhibitions in galleries throughout Northern and Southern California and her art is in private collections across the country.  Her work has been featured in Artweek Magazine, the SF Chronicle, and was prominently featured in the July 2009 issue of ELLE Décor magazine.

"To make art with all the questions answered deprives the viewer of the joy of participating in the act of creation. The choices I make between figuration and abstraction, between what is implied and what is revealed, serve to pull the viewer into the paintings surface and leave them with questions. My work is about transforming the mistake . In my process, I re-use old paintings, actively damaging the surface to give each a history. My hope is to affirm a more authentic concept of beauty while making paintings which retain an evocation of mystery."
