Genet Gebrezgiabher is an Ethiopian American mixed-media artist based in the DMV. Her practice centers on figurative painting and drawing as acts of storytelling, using the human figure to explore memory, belonging, migration, identity, love, grief, and the emotional landscapes that live beyond language. Drawing from personal experience, observation, and the communities that have shaped her, she examines how the body carries emotional and ancestral histories, revealing what presence holds.

She began her artistic practice in graphite and charcoal portraiture before expanding into painting, where her work continues to evolve. Rooted in her Ethiopian identity, her work invites reflection on the stories we inherit, carry, and pass on. Her figures move beyond likeness, inviting viewers to encounter themselves, others, and the threads that bind us together.
