Aimee G

Aimee G (1978 - ), born Aimee Genter, is a multimedia artist based in Portland, Oregon, USA.

Background
Aimee G was born and raised in the suburbs of St. Paul, Minnesota. After moving to Portland, she spent two years working with filmmaker Miranda July on her experimental lady-made movie distribution project, Joanie 4 Jackie before branching out on her own into screenwriting and short film production. Her visual art has been exhibited in a handful of galleries around Minneapolis and Portland. She works primarily in mixed media and computer-based installations.

Music projects
A renowned electronic music artist, she is half of the nerdclash band Grammar Rodeo. She releases solo music under the name 50-Foot Daria. She is a classically-trained trumpet player with a formal education in jazz composition. She is also credited with writing the lyrics to Grammar Rodeo's hit songs "Tiny Bathroom" and "Party at Yr Mom's" (in collaboration with Kid Whatever).

A change of focus
In 2007, Aimee decided to take a break from artistic projects to pursue a career in women's full-contact football. She is currently training as a guard and nose tackle with the Portland Shockwave and her rookie season debut will be April 12, 2008 in Seattle as the Shockwave takes on the Seattle Majestics.
