About the artist

Cory George — artist and creator of Painted Nerves

the artist behind the work

I create because sometimes words aren't enough. My work is emotion-driven, intuitive, and deeply personal. Through layers of texture, color, and mixed media, I explore the beauty hidden within chaos, uncertainty, anxiety, hope, and healing.

The name Painted Nerves came from the idea that we all carry experiences beneath the surface — joy, grief, fear, resilience, love, and everything in between. My art is an attempt to give those emotions form. Each piece becomes a conversation between vulnerability and strength, darkness and light.

I don't strive for perfection. I strive for honesty.

Whether I'm creating an abstract energy piece, a mystical forest, or a heavily textured mixed-media work, my goal remains the same: to create something that makes people feel seen. If a painting can offer understanding, comfort, wonder, or simply a moment to pause and breathe, then it has done its job.

For those who feel deeply, think too much, or sometimes feel alone in their struggles, I hope my work serves as a reminder that there is beauty in being human.

Anxiously crafted. Beautifully unhinged.
