About the Artist
Georgetta Bundley, a Chicago native and physician specializing in palliative care at Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa, FL, is a visual artist who has found a way to merge her medical career with her artistic passion. With a Bachelor of Art degree in Biology and Art from Fisk University, a medical degree from Meharry Medical College, and further training in family medicine and palliative/hospice medicine, she has found a way to utilize her love for creating art to combat compassion fatigue and moral distress in providing care to patients with complex medical conditions and navigating the challenges experienced as an underrepresented minority in the medical field. Inspired by her interactions with patients, she explores the multifaceted impact of serious illness on patients' well-being. Additionally, she creates pieces highlighting and celebrating the beauty and resilience of Black women and the overall African American experience given the lack of representation found in art.
While her art doesn't fit into one specific style, she tends to favor bold colors and dynamic shapes, to accentuate the individuality and distinctive journey of each subject. She is currently exploring ways to incorporate yarn and embroidery thread into her art to further add dimension. Her ultimate goal is utilize her art to bring healing to those around the world. As her late mother would say, “we are not placed on this earth to serves ourselves, but to use our gifts to bless others.”
