About GW
“From early childhood, I have known one thing — all of my life I would paint," admits Georganne White.
Born and raised in San Francisco during interesting times, Georganne enjoyed pastels and watercolors with her father and his artist friends. Many pleasant afternoons were spent in Golden Gate Park dabbling in art.
In the 1960s, GW studied at SF State University and the SF Art Institute where she explored sculpture and printmaking as well as painting. Since then, art has played a role in almost everything she has done.
From fine art exhibits to illustrations for children’s books, she has painted on paper, canvas, silk, ceramics and wood, created collage and sculpture, and set herself free with watercolors, pastels and acrylics.
A featured artist in San Francisco, Portland, Ashland, Santa Fe, the Hult in Eugene and other venues, GW's work can be found in collections from Tokyo to Paris. Known for her expressionist approach and distinctive style, she is represented by several galleries and her work can be seen by appointment in her studio.
As a teacher, GW offers classes for adults and children in Oregon, Santa Fe and California. Currently living near Port Orford on Oregon’s wild and remote South coast, she teaches for SOCC and also offers private workshops individualized to address each student’s skills and interests.
Hiding away up a sweet river valley nearby Port Orford, GW is happy with her loves, her cats, her pals, her gardens and her arts -- "Just arting around..."
