On June 11th, 2022, Genie Poretzky-Lee began a drawing challenge: a drawing a

day for a year to gift to whoever requested it.

The 365 drawings are now available in a book: Drawing a Year, Day by Day.

To hear how the project unfolded please join us on the 18/09/2024 @ 6.30pm. You

will also have the opportunity to purchase a signed copy of Genie’s book.

Genie Poretzky-Lee was classically trained in drawing and sculpture at the

Academie Julian in Paris. She continued training in textiles when she moved to

London and co-founded ‘Fibre Art’ in the UK, alongside Professor Janis Jeffries.

Her inspiration was abstraction and alchemy, and developed into painting in the

early and mid 90’s. Her work started to include organic materials like sand, crystals,

and paper creating a textured surface. Pastels were a more fragile medium,

inspired by geometry, the relationship to the square, the movement of line, and

lines in space. Her 3D work and installations included sound and light, all of which

deepened the idea of exhibition as being simultaneously experiential as well as a

space for communal sharing.
