Georgia Annwell draws upon her rich background in former occupations as construction worker, nursing instructor, martial artist, and architect for images she incorporates into her paintings of people, other animals, and social commentary. She creates images to which people can relate fairly easily. She infuses her works with bits of whimsy and humor. Her exhibition will feature a couple dozen recent works, most not previously shown.
