About Genna Draper:
“I paint because I love it. I love the chaos I create when making something and knowing order is found at completion.”
Genna Draper
Growing up in Canada’s capital, Ottawa, Ontario. The only child in a large Italian family, Draper's creative pursuits were always supported and encouraged. Drawing, painting, sewing, sculpting and building were integral activities of her daily life, and as is the case today, she is happiest working with my hands.
The paintings are given life through a combination of materials, technique and a whole lot of elbow grease. Working in different mediums Draper explores new approaches for their uses and calls on her experiences with color, textures and space to create mixed media work that is at times abstract, and other times figurative.
The artist equates painting with conversation…"There’s an idea that needs exploration and or even clarification. As each layer emerges it is with the thoughts and emotions that pass through my mind in that moment. Each decision and brushstroke is in response to the previous one."
Genna Draper has spent the last 20 years in the business of art as a business owner, event coordinator, design specialist, muralist, teacher, and through it all artist.
Her work is in private collections in Ottawa, Montreal, Toronto, Calgary, Seattle, Miami, San Francisco, and L.A.
