Reflections on September 11: Twenty Years of Sorrow” features the poignant work of visual artist Georgia Tambasis, who created, in real-time on September 11, 2001, abstract art as she listened to events unfolding on the radio. Having no visuals of the tragedy except those in her imagination, Georgia created an evocative series of works reflective of her own emotional journey.

After earning a degree in nursing from Thiel College and working in the field for over a decade, Georgia pursued her interest in art. She received a B.F.A. from Youngstown State University and holds an M.F.A. from the University of Texas at San Antonio. She has received numerous awards and honorable mentions in national and regional exhibitions. Currently, she is an artist, curator, and educator living in Wheeling, WV, and her artwork includes drawing, printmaking, painting, sculpture, and ceramics.

About her work Georgia states, “I paint, draw, sculpt, throw on the potter’s wheel and alter forms similar to the way when I was drawing on dirt with sticks and stacking rocks as a child in a small village in Greece. Sometimes I have a general idea in my mind of what I want to accomplish, and sometimes I just allow my hands to move as they wish with the material available. I usually make a body of work in a series. This particular series is my personal reaction to 9/11 and its aftereffects.”
