A Personal Story Behind the Art
Geoff and Andy met in Boca Raton, FL, in January 2011—before Geoff had learned any sign language. Since then, Andy has been Geoff’s ASL teacher and guide to Deaf Culture. They got engaged in 2015 in Ft. Lauderdale, FL, married on October 17, 2015, in Key West, FL, and relocated to Madison, WI, in 2019.

Artistic Beginnings
Geoff began painting in 2024, initially creating a vibrant rendition of the ASL 'I Love You' sign as a gift for Andy. This project ignited an unexpected passion for art and has become a significant aspect of his journey.

Exhibitions
Geoff recently showcased three of his paintings at the 'Queer: A Proud & Loud Art Show' at the Truax Gallery at Madison College. These works confront the struggles faced by LGBTQIA+ and disabled communities, the persecution of humankind, and what he describes as the current state of 'hypo-Christian fascism.'
