Geri Montano

Visual Arts Instructor

Portrait by Nita Hicks

Geri Montano received her BFA from San Francisco Art Institute where she studied drawing, painting, and sculpture. Her work has been exhibited at SFAI’s Diego Rivera Gallery, Rouge Gallery, and other Bay Area venues, including the Berkeley Theater Project.

Geri then moved to Seattle and explored political street theater while working for The Art of Resistance, where she was a painter, costume-maker, and performer.

Geri is excited to be back in San Francisco actively reconnecting with its diverse and eclectic art scene while working in her home studio.

“I immensely enjoy teaching at Creativity Explored where I can combine my altruistic tendencies with my love of the visual arts. Teaching here feels like a dream job to me. Each artist I work with is unabashedly creative in his/her own way and this is challenging as well as inspiring.”
