Georgia Velisaris
I’m a Mixed Media Artist, Photographer, and Digital Artist. I’ve always enjoyed making art using all sorts of mediums since a young age. It was when I taught full-time at an art college in Chicago that I entered art shows, increased my traveling overseas; and evolved and increased my art-making. My favorite art-related subject is architecture, but I also like my subject based on animals, nature, landscape, etc. (environment).
I like to mix the mediums of photography with acrylic and oil paints (painting on my architecture-related photographs). And, I am inspired by my travels that introduced me to Aboriginal art (Australia) and Japanese cloud prints. And, from there, I expanded to create all sorts of artwork from photography to collage to 3-D to digital art. Also, I still use my instructor/tutor skills in teaching Basic Adobe Photoshop Skills, Basic Collage Skills, and Basic Collage Using Adobe Photoshop (for image transfers) workshops. And, I lecture about the group hiking trip to the Galapagos Islands that I went on focusing on the animals that I photographed for a related series and mini-collages. As an artist, I hope people take away from my art and acknowledge the importance of creativity, inspiration (and where it comes from), and the similarities that all people have that connect the world.
