Picture

Genevieve (she/her/ella) is a Chicago-born painter and disability advocate whose artistic journey began after surviving a serious car accident at age 20.

During her rehabilitation, she discovered her talent for painting through art therapy. Genevieve's vibrant acrylic canvases embody a pop culture aesthetic, blending bold colors and storytelling. Her work centers on themes of feminism and disability, sharing her personal narrative while amplifying voices in her communities.

Genevieve has been recognized as an Artist in Residence with DCAL (Disability Culture Activism Lab) in 2021 and received the 3Arts/Bodies of Work fellowship in Chicago in 2022. She holds a bachelor's degree in Women’s and Gender Studies from Northeastern Illinois University (2021) and recently completed a certificate in Painting from the School of the Art Institute.

The 22nd Annual Disability Pride Parade
