Genny Costin was born and raised in Seattle, Washington, where she lives and works as a painter and small business owner. She studied art, art history and English at the University of Washington. She began painting in 2021through her own mid-life reckoning. After a few years of maniacal painting and hard work, she began exhibiting as part of a group show called, Keepsakes. Since then, she’s been given the opportunity to take part in a number of group exhibitions as well as being featured in British Vogue. She enjoys drawing much of her inspiration through psychology and the unconscious mind, exploring themes of overlapping memory and emotion.
