Meet the ARTIST
Genea Morrow
In each stroke of my brush, I aim to convey a message of acceptance and empowerment. By highlighting the beauty of different body types, I hope to inspire a sense of self-love and confidence in viewers, encouraging them to appreciate and embrace their own unique physicality. Body positivity, to me, is about rejecting unrealistic standards and recognizing the inherent beauty in every curve, line, and contour.
About
Genea Morrow is a self-taught artist and creative entrepreneur based out of Seattle, Washington. Her interest in art began in 2012 but veered in the direction of modeling and photography; it came full circle in a figure drawing class in 2017. She then took the time to fall in love with creating shapes out of shadow work using charcoal as her medium. It wasn’t until 2021 that she started to play in paint. Genea began a fulfilling career co-owning a children’s educational toy store, J.I.L.L.’s Toyshop, and launching Black Omi Art Co. Though her journey wasn’t always easy, she often opens up about her struggles with imposter syndrome and how she continuously works on her insecurities surrounding her late start to paint. She now creates paintings that tell her story, a story heavily influenced by her history with religion and spirituality, overshadowed by her exploration of her sensuality. Her work is centered around creating the feeling of familiarity, power, and freedom. To highlight the internal battles of feminine and masculine energies women may feel.
She has been able to start her journey of connecting to communities all over the U.S. by joining select art shows and networking events. One of her most significant achievements was curating her first exhibition in 2021, just four months after the start of her career. Her feature in Houston Voyage Magazine and her being an invited artist at the 20th annual Seattle Erotic Art Festival are also some of her favorite highlighted accomplishments.
