Ivana Damien George is an interdisciplinary artist working in photography, printmaking, watercolor, drawing, sound, video, and mixed media since 1998. Her art reflects her belief in the importance of respect for mother Earth. Ivana George’s mission is to use her creativity to raise consciousness about the interconnectedness of all living beings, encourage environmental conservation, and sustainable habitation on Earth.

She strives to embody her values in the production of her artwork by sourcing recycled materials, using non-toxic materials and processes and through reuse where possible. She frames her artworks using hardwood frames made from sustainably managed North American forests and avoids tropical hardwoods.

Her most recent collection of botanical mono prints with mixed media are made from plants she grew in her garden. Each print is a unique impression of the textures and pigments inherent in the plants. The prints are made on cotton watercolor paper that contains 60% recycled fiber content using nontoxic chemistry. She used natural earth pigments to draw and paint in the many small details of the work.

She has exhibited her work in over 50 national juried and invitational exhibitions including the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, Flash Forward Photography Festival, The Griffin Museum, Panopticon Gallery, Newspace Center for Photography, CAC in Las Vegas, Soho Photo Gallery, Dallas Video Festival, Junction Arts Festival and the Danforth Museum. She has completed artist in residency fellowships at the Vermont Studio Residency Center and Oolite Arts. Since 2002, she has been the recipient of numerous grants for the creation of artworks. Her work has been written about in the Boston Globe, Orion Magazine, the Las Vegas Sun, Atlanta’s Creative Loafing as well as several blogs.

She holds a M.F.A. degree from the joint program of The School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston/Tufts University. She is a Professor of Art at a Massachusetts state university since 2003, where she teaches all levels of black and white analog photography, historical processes and digital photography. She also teaches additional subjects including business of visual arts, video, digital arts and sustainability concepts and practices.

Ivana is an avid outdoors-woman and Sierra Club member. She loves to teach photography outdoors on field trips, hike in national parks, and participate in many outdoor adventure sports such as cross country skiing, biking, kayaking, hiking and rock climbing. She enjoys growing vegetables, cooking, and eating gourmet food with friends and family.
