Alice Rose “Pi” George was raised in Silver Creek and Monticello, Virginia. She studied art and English literature at Newcomb College and the University of London. After completing her studies, she moved to New York City, where she remained for 55 years. George worked as a photography editor for a variety of publications, including Time Magazine, GEO, Fortune, and as a consultant for The New York Times, Conde Nast Traveler, U.S. News and World Report, and many others. A large part of her career was spent as an independent art and photography buyer and curator for private collectors and as author/editor of photography books. George authored, edited, or consulted on more than 30 books of photography, including co-editing “Here is New York: A Democracy of Photographs,” a collection of photographs of the 9/11 attack on the World Trade Center and the response of the people of New York. Her career was primarily focused on art and photography, but George’s love was poetry. She was an accomplished poet, having published two collections of poems-“Ceiling of the World” and “Two Eyes.”
