Genet Gebrezgiabher is an Ethiopian-American mixed-media figurative artist based in the DMV. Her practice centers on painting and drawing as tools for storytelling and self-expression, drawing from personal experiences and reflections alongside broader cultural narratives. Her work explores identity, community, and resilience through migration and memory across Ethiopian and Eritrean diasporic transnational trajectories. She examines how the body carries emotional and ancestral histories and how presence can reveal the depth of what is carried within.

She began her artistic practice in graphite and charcoal portraiture before expanding into painting, and her practice continues to evolve. Her work captures how Ethiopian and Eritrean diasporic life moves through the world and how individuals relate to one another. Her figures extend beyond likeness to reveal spirit. She approaches her practice as a shared space, inviting viewers to encounter themselves, others, and the threads that bind them together.
