Genevieve Swifte | Photography Video Works on Paper A member of Ampleya with composer and pianist Rasa Daukus and mezzo soprano AJ America, Genevieve Swifte is a contemporary artist with a PhD from the ANU School of Art and Design specialising in photography, feminist aesthetics and self-portraiture. Emerging from the darkroom of an alternative school in the early 1990s, Swifte’s sensibilities are also informed by an undergraduate degree in drawing and printmaking, interdisciplinary collaborations and residencies in remote corners of the globe. As a resident artist at the historic Ainslie and Gorman Arts Centres in Canberra, Swifte is also a member of the board of directors and works with the community as an independent arts educator teaching the observational drawing course Eye to Hand. Her workshops welcome young artists from thirteen years of age, creative professionals, complete beginners and people with all levels of ability. Members of the community who have not had the opportunity to engage in formal art training are especially welcome to attend.
