Artist Bio

Gena Eve Viggiani

34 years old

Born and raised in New York City

Relocated to Geneva, NY in 2004

Artist/Poet/Photographer – AKA: "The Heartbreak Kid"

My art and writing of course are very personal.

When you look at my work, you are seeing me spread on the canvas or scribbled across the page.

Blunt,

Raw,

Exposed,

I am constantly struggling with love and loss; Creating art and writing poetry are the only ways I know to get out of my head, have a chance to learn, and not repeat the same mistakes. There is something very vulnerable about being exposed in these ways, and I hope I can bring an understanding and peace to anyone who views my work.

No formal education, Self Taught
