Artist Highlight

Artist, author and teacher, Genavieve Gilbert, developed a love for the creative process in high school then went on to study art and history at the Ringling School of Art and Design, as well as Palm Beach Atlantic University. Her daily studio practice developed in 2016 after struggling with anxiety as a young mother. It was a deeply personal time and space where her spiritual journey and creative process merged. She mostly painted celestial night-scenes in oil during this time. Soon after, Gibert began live painting in the midst of corporate gatherings and working more with acrylics on a larger scale. Her emphasis was in creating various series of works focused on spiritual themes observed in nature and the human experience. Gilbert’s last few series have been mixed media abstract florals. For her, there is something intrinsically linked between the flower and the human heart. Gilbert is most passionate about facilitating connections between The Creator and His children. Whether it’s through her paintings, books, or classes, her hope is that in choosing to share her own authentic journey as a human being – questioning, seeking, and peering into the mystery of life – that others will be encouraged in their own journeys. Gilbert lives in Greenville, SC, with her husband and two children and just released her book, We are the Makers: Partnering with God & Releasing Heaven on Earth.
