Nicole Geary is an artist hailing from the green, swampy lands of north Florida. She earned her BFA from the University of Florida with a concentration in printmaking, and moved to San Antonio, Texas to pursue a career in the arts. Geary spent her first year in Texas working for and teaching classes at the non-profit printmaking organization StoneMetal Press, helping to promote fine art printmaking and education through the arts. She now works with the Southwest School of Art and Craft as a teacher in the Mobile Arts Program.
Geary's work is guided by a systematic pattern, influenced by feminist and body issues. She utilizes all traditional forms of printmaking and mixed media, including fabric and spray paint, often linking prints together with layering and hand-sewing. Related issues are memory, death, sexuality and the constant quest to represent these things visually.
The work attempts to reach an understanding of personal memory and create visual links to events, places, people, and smells-cataloging, identifying, and dissecting.
