DAY & NIGHT

I am Georgena Senior (she/her), a Philadelphia-based artist, educator, and designer.

My material focus is handbuilt ceramics supported by screenprinting and illustration. As an artist my work centers around themes of archetypes, goddess culture, sigils, and other forms of iconography that represent our human experiences. I make select functional pieces to bring these themes into our everyday spaces: relatable and supportive ideas literally drawn/written onto the works.

Channeling, rituals, and visual meditation are as important to my work as my sketchbook,
journal, and tools. I seek understanding through observation of all that the universe shows us and all that has yet to be revealed. Clay has proven to be a perfect medium for this work.

My work has been included in the following exhibitions: Stickball/Chair Show, Phila, PA, Artspace 1241/Short n’ Sweet Show, Phila, PA, Clay Studio/Small Favors, Phila, PA, Tiger Strikes Asteroid+ Butchie Alley/Meoto Yunomi Show, Phila, PA, The Little Show, Upper Montclair, NJ.

As an educator, I am an Adjunct Professor at Temple University’s Tyler School of Art and Architecture within the Design & Illustration program. I’m also an Adjunct Professorat Drexel University’s Antionette Westphal College of Media Arts and Design within the Product Design program.

As a designer, I’ve developed branding and packaging programs for some of the world’s most recognizable properties. My work finds the balance between design and illustration. I approach each project with the end user in mind. My goal is to create visual assets that elevate the brand. As a Creative Director I have managed teams of designers and illustrators, building client relationships—translating their vision into award-winning style guides.

In my life, art and design go hand in hand. You can also read more about my work in my newsletter, with past newsletters living on Substack at georgenasenior.substack.com.
