Genni Lib Threet
Artist, educator, and storyteller inspired by connecting people to nature, history and to each other.
Hi, I’m Genni Lib!
I create artwork, teach classes, lead creative workshops, and design educational experiences inspired by art history, nature, and place.
My influences range from Renaissance paintings and illuminated manuscripts to marshes, shark teeth, folk traditions, astronomy, and long walks with no particular destination. I believe creativity grows when we slow down, look closely, and follow what fascinates us.
Art + Education
As an artist, I’m drawn to color, light, and the stories hiding in ordinary moments. My paintings, photos, and jewelry begin as small observations - a shadow on a wall, a found shell, a feeling I can’t quite name - and become ways of tracing connection between people and place.
My work is rooted in observation, curiosity, and connection.
IInspired by both the South Carolina Lowcountry and my background in art history, I draw from a wide range of influences, including Renaissance painting, illuminated manuscripts, folk art traditions, watercolor, global jewelry, poetry, and the natural world. Marshes, oyster shells, birds, old trees, sacred objects, and everyday moments all find their way into my work.
Whether creating artwork or leading educational experiences, I encourage people to slow down, look closely, and engage creatively with the world around them. I believe creativity is something available to everyone. The only prerequisite is a willingness to pay attention.
I’ve spent 15+ years in communications, creative direction & brand storytelling.
Although no longer my primary focus, my background still comes in handy—especially when supporting other artists, small teams, and community organizations with content, campaigns, and thoughtful visuals. View my selected communications work below:
