GEORGIANNE FASTAIA

BIOGRAPHY

Georgianne Fastaia was born in Brooklyn, New York, in 1964. She graduated Magna Cum Laude from San Francisco State University in 1988 with a degree in Creative Writing. Her mother; an art teacher, encouraged Georgianne to follow her passion and to take art seriously. Self-taught, she began painting in 2001 and has sold her work directly to the public through alternative venues, cafés and restaurants since 2002. Using her Studio Contacts and experience promoting art shows gained as Open Studios Director, she created FRESHART SF: an art consulting service bringing artists and businesses together. Recent projects include “Organica”: a three women show at San Francisco’s first Green Housing Community: ARTERRA, as well as the Summer Art Exhibition at The Barber Lounge.

Her involvement in the Arts is built upon extensive volunteer experience, most notably the design and implementation of The Hillcrest Elementary Integrated Learning Mural project for which she wrote and received a grant from the Phillips 66 corporation and sponsorship from local businesses. The scope of the project garnered her invitation as guest lecturer at the John Swett Unified School District Board meeting. An accomplished writer and public speaker, she is an eloquent advocate for the arts. She is a member of Art Span, a Visual Aid Grant recipient, on the board of Mission Arts Foundation, and a contributing writer for Mission Arts Monthly, The Painters Keys and a guest reviewer at Art business.

An accomplished Painter, she has had many successful Solo Exhibitions in galleries throughout Northern and Southern California and her Art is in private collections across the country. Her work has been featured in Artweek Magazine, The SF Chronicle, and prominently featured in the July 2009 issue of ELLE Décor magazine.
