"Attitude is the paintbrush of life that colors every situation"
---Geri Acosta
GERI ACOSTA is a San Francisco, California native. Her first art influence was when her mother came to her defense when Geri was caught by her father drawing on her bedroom walls. "Leave her alone! That's her room! She is expressing herself!", she remembers her mother lamenting. Later in life when she couldn't afford to decorate her first home with original works of art, she decided to paint her own. She hasn't stopped painting since!
After studies in numerous art institutions, and workshops with many renowned artists such as Ted Gerschner, William Reese and John Budicin, she received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Fullerton State University. She moved from San Francisco to Napa,
( here she first learned to paint using only a palette knife) received a nursing degree there, moved to Sacramento, then on to Los Angeles before settling in Redding, California in 1989. She chose Tucson, Arizona in 2009 as the place to retire and paint full time. She has one daughter from her first marriage.
Geri is a Signature member of Whiskeytown Plein-air Painters of Northern California, an Associate member of Oil Painters of America, Tucson Plein-Air Painters Society, and Arizona Plein-Air Painters. She has shown in numerous galleries, paints and travels to such places as Hawaii, Europe, Greece, Crete, Turkey, Egypt and the Virgin Islands as well as the United States. She has won several Best of Shows and has clientèle throughout the USA, Canada, France, Mexico, and Portugal.
Geri's work has been described as "passionate and colorful" that endeavor to give subjects meaning that surpasses their reality.
