Connie Geerts was born in 1965, the youngest of six children raised on a farm in Southwestern Ontario, Canada. It was a fairly idyllic childhood filled with lots of unsupervised exploring and evenings spent with her siblings drawing at the kitchen table.

Geerts started her professional art career with a move to the West coast in 1987. After exploring many materials she fell in love with acrylic painting and has been working in the medium ever since. During this time, she also worked as a video editor, and dabbled in sculpture, joining the Vancouver Island Sculptors Guild.

In 2000, Geerts moved to Calgary, Alberta and was able to devote more time to creating art. While continuing to paint, she studied bronze casting in Mexico and but fell in love again when she discovered glass kiln casting in 2005. She discovered the same fluid translucency of colour that she enjoyed with acrylic paint was possible in a three dimensional medium.

Geerts continues to work in her first passion, acrylic painting, but now devotes equal time to discovering the possibilities in glass. She works out of her studios at her home in Calgary, AB, Canada.
