about

Jane Georges is an interdisciplinary artist who is interested in paying close attention to nature and nostalgia, subconscious feeling and intuition, memory, the senses, inner dialogue and healing.  Through such subjects, she creates curious works of exploration with a spectrum of unlikely fibers, textures, and commonly overlooked everyday objects/materials.

She often works with a new (to her) material in each of her works, with an open-ended curiosity towards the dissection, re-purpose, and potential for the material outside of its traditional sense of use. She is known for working large scale through repetitive (almost ritual-like) organic layering which in turn activates spaces, sometimes sharing and opening up her process to the public to experience materials with her.

Jane received her BA in printmaking, painting, and sculpture from Indiana University in 2005. She lives and works in Chicago and is a resident artist at Chicago Art Department.

Outside of her personal practice, she operates under the moniker 'Oh And Also'— a Creative House bridging together an ever-expanding library of creative projects and services within the fine art, commercial, and experiential art realms for clients based in fine arts, events, hospitality, retail, residential, fashion, film + tv, and music industries. She also supports Chicago's creative ecosystem by day through artist assistance, mural and sign painting, creative consulting and logistics, prototyping, and managing and aiding in the installation of gallery and museum exhibitions.

An expanding archive of renowned artists, designers, curators, creative producers, visionaries, and cultural institutions that she has worked with, supported, collaborated with, and/or shown with include:
