As an abstract painter, Genevieve is captivated by the interplay of color and the dramatic contrasts of tone, creating vibrant compositions that evoke emotion and thought. Her work is influenced by the bold use of color seen in her favorite piece by Van Gogh, "Almond Blossom" (1890), which exemplifies the delicate beauty and intensity she strives to capture her own paintings. When she is not writing or painting, you can often find her gallery hopping and exploring the eclectic natural wine bars that dot the city!
