G4 is an artists' artist. Intuition is at the center of his process. He makes art with the intention of centering feelings because feelings connect us to our intuition. George's practice expresses how art forces us to live in the moment. Getting it out of his head and into the world for others to enjoy is his highest reward. At each step of his process, he consciously values his intuition and the moment intensely. Because of this, success comes naturally. Just as natural as he creates.

“But both of them come into my life for different reasons

Some sounds you can’t define 

I get into playing at the same time that I was introduced to leather craft

I started making little belt pouches 

Like the ones shepherds sling over their shoulders

These were all new experiences for me in the moment

Just interest, curious interest. 

I’m like the original designer, maker of the first prototype. 

I was born in Guiana, in the city of Georgetown in British Guiana…

Phone rings…” - George Georges of Georgetown Guyana

“I carved into leather, and painted into leather as if I was a fine artist.” - George Georges of Georgetown Guyana

“I visited a home in Guyana for a minute.” - George Georges of Georgetown Guyana
