I am a curious person. I want to know the how, what and why of things. It’s a mindset that leaves me open to inspiration from many sources. A full blown series could develop from a book I’m reading or a fossil I purchased at the local gem and mineral show. Maybe it’s the rust patterns on a car or nature discovered on a walk. A thrift store forays can put me into curiosity overdrive. Thrifts are also the prime source for my artmaking materials. Reclaiming and transforming used clothing, household textiles and other bits and pieces into artwork extends and adds to their life story.
I believe that creative expression is part of living a full life. To help further this belief I share my artistic visions though studio visits, workshops and collaborative projects. You can find me doing what I like best at my studio and gallery, Blue Door Arts, located at 1608 Capitol Ave in downtown Cheyenne WY.
Art is the language I use to translate the world around me. Unusual materials and combinations with a heavy emphasis on pattern, color and texture are my words. My goal is to present work that inspires an interesting and lively conversation. Georgia has a gallery and studio space in the heart of downtown Cheyenne Wyoming. Her work can be seen at Blue Door Arts located at 1608 Capitol Ave in the Historic Hynds building. Visit Georgia at her studio by appointment or serendipity.

Liska Jacobs is the author of two acclaimed novels, Catalina and The Worst Kind of Want both published by MCD | FSG. To quote a review in The Believer: “The Worst Kind of Want presents Jacobs at her best: thinking through the fraught ethical problems and pitfalls of desire… Jacobs is establishing herself as a novelist who can probe what it means to be both selfish and vulnerable, asking with bald-faced earnestness: What, in 2019, are adult women allowed to want—and at what cost?” Her essays and short fiction have appeared in The Rumpus, Los Angeles Review of Books, Literary Hub, The Millions and The Hairpin among others. She has an MFA from the University of California, Riverside.
