My name is Genevieve, so who are Jibby and Juna? They were my imaginary childhood friends. They came to live with me during those precious early years when creativity reigned supreme and I was unhindered by ridiculous topics like car payments, counting calories and being on time.

Flash forward...I studied communication design and then crafts, with a metals concentration. Soon afterward, I started homeschooling my three children and, as you can imagine, that took up the majority of my time until 2007 when they were all old enough that I could spend afternoons in the studio.

I can't say that I've necessarily strayed too far from a lot of the same themes that I see in the artwork my mother saved from the time I started pushing a crayon around on paper. I like contrast and relationships, in shapes and colors and humans, and asymmetry and repetition have always been important to me. My interests in history, science, geography and travel find their way into pieces in subtle, and sometimes not so subtle, ways.

My process is rarely a straight line from concept to completion Although I always set out with a preliminary idea when making a new piece, I usually end up learning where I was going only after its finished.
