Gigi Mezzo Genovese

Gigi Mezzo Genovese has honed her artistic talents and explored the depths of her expression through her creations in realism.  Gigi works with several media, oil, acrylic, pen and ink and watercolor, acrylic being her favorite.  Her romance with the sea and its domain has evolved to include seascapes, architecture, landscapes, interiors and still life.  Such a symbiotic relationship has broadened her sights to feel and share a simplicity, beauty and flavor of spirit that is not limited to the Northeast.

From her studio she has created paintings that grace many private collections from coast to coast as well as in Great Britain.  The Governor’s Residence Conservancy through the State of Connecticut’s Acquisition Panel has accepted a painting that is displayed on a permanent basis in the Governor’s Mansion in Hartford.  Her work has been shown in Los Angeles and she has exhibited her work throughout Connecticut, Block Island, RI, Providence, RI, New York City and Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. She has also exhibited her work at the Wally Findlay Galleries in New York City and the Agora Gallery.  Genovese has received many awards for her work in juried shows over the years.

As stated  by Gigi, “ There are many benefits of being an artist. I feel very fortunate to have the ability of placing my thoughts on a panel.  One displays their inner soul to the public.  It’s a great feeling knowing I can capture the mood of what I see and feel and convey that to onlookers.  There is a bond that forms between the painting and the viewer.  When I catch a glimpse of this, I see the emotions that surface on the viewer’s face… these are just some of the rewards.”

Ms. Genovese is listed in the Artist’s Bank at the Connecticut Commission On the Arts in Hartford, Ct. and has served as Vice Chairperson for the Naugatuck Arts Commission.  She has been a member of the Mystic Arts Association in Mystic, Ct., the Kent Art Association and has been honored with inclusion in the 1992 edition of the publication Who’s Who in Connecticut.  She has recently become a resident member of the Pen and Brush Inc. organization in New York City.  The Brick Gallery in Essex Village and the Fine Line Gallery in Woodbury  currently represents Ms. Genovese works.
