I am a Romani American Artist. My name is J.A. George but you may call me, as my friends do, The GYPSY. As a former Zookeeper and lifelong lover of nature I have a unique perspective on Animals and Conservation.
When I create my art, whether Animal or Landscape or both combined, I seek not to create reality or fantasy but to find the spirit of what I am painting. Seeking out the spirit of my subject creates a deeper meaning in my paintings beyond the ordinary.
From my Artist Alley Studio and Gallery I paint what is not seen and have revealed those unseen elements in museum and zoo exhibits, art shows and art lessons to aspiring artists for more than 50 years.
The GYPSY joined Fine Art America on January 23rd, 2013.
