GIA HENDRIX

Gia Hendrix (American, b. 1999) is a self taught painter from the Greater Philadelphia area and currently based in Central Florida.  Hendrix works primarily in oil paint and watercolor, finding balance between the rough and deliberate swaths of paint while working on canvas, and the softer, refined method of painting in watercolor.  The inherent fluidity in her work is birthed from self possession during the act of painting and her intuitive capacity.  Hendrix often depicts ephemeral spaces satiated with vibrant color and botanical influences taken from her love of gardening.  She engages with reinterpretations of her past, creating a visual storybook for intangible moments to stay alive- allowing former versions of herself to ring through her as she channels previous lifestyles- a sense of mourning, gratitude, and reflection.
