About
Georganna Greene is an artist and educator, primarily working in painting. She earned her BFA from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, and her MFA in Painting from Boston University in 2021. Her practice explores material language, perception, and the tension between human design and natural order, using abstraction as a means for deeper knowing.
Between degrees, Greene worked in galleries and retail while maintaining an active studio practice at Ground Floor Gallery+Studios. Her background in art handling at institutions like The Frist Art Museum, Cheekwood, and Cumberland Gallery informed her interest in curation, facilitation, and collaborative work. She has taught at Boston University, Tennessee State University, and most recently held a full-time faculty position in Studio Foundations at Lipscomb University, where she also developed a gallery internship through Open Gallery, a student-led project space in Wedgewood-Houston.
Greene attended the Vermont Studio Center residency in 2023 and has participated in panels, visiting talks, workshops, and lectures at institutions including Lipscomb University, Watkins College of Art, COOP Gallery, Red Arrow Gallery, the Parthenon Museum Gallery, Western Kentucky University Fine Arts Center, and Tyler School of Art and Architecture (virtual). Her work was collected by the local boutique Vandyke Hotel among numerous private collections and has been featured in The Tennessean,Nashville Scene, and Native Magazine. Solo and two-person shows include Air Dry with Danielle Fretwell at Commonwealth Gallery (2020) at Boston University and Limbic Slang at Red Arrow Gallery in Nashville (2022). Her work has shown in group shows at Crosstown Arts Memphis; Centennial Art Center; Piano Craft Gallery in Boston; Tiger Strikes Asteroid, New York and The Historic Arcade in downtown Nashville. She is a member of the Nashville-based Post-Nothing Critique Group and continues to paint and curate in her hometown.
