The future of art & design by Gelisa George


Many people struggle with authentic self-expression because their environment isn’t conducive to it. I believe in the transformative power of expressing one’s true self. Through painting and upcycling, I turn secondhand clothing into one-of-a-kind pieces. This journey has led to two sold-out collections, creative workshops, and a boutique centered around clothing swaps. Now, I’m evolving by transforming clothing into canvas-based artwork.

My goal? To create raw, authentic pieces that inspire others to express themselves.

I’m Gelisa George, a mixed media artist and designer from the United States, now based in Dakar, Senegal. What started as a two-week trip turned into a new life, where I sold everything and moved with just two suitcases, living by faith.
