ABOUT

Georgia worked as a freelance illustrator in Brighton for many years. After the birth of her daughter and a move to the countryside in Buckinghamshire (England) in 2018, her studio practice shifted as she threw herself into painting large expressive landscapes.
Since then, Georgia's work has been seen in Good Housekeeping & InStyle magazine’s and a selection of her prints are stocked in John Lewis. She regularly exhibits through multiple UK galleries and at renowned art fairs, such as; The Affordable Art Fair (London), Manchester Art Fair & Surrey Contemporary Art Fair. She had her first solo exhibition of 40 paintings at Cambridge Contemporary Art in 2023, where she was invited to do a painting demonstration in the gallery and featured in ‘The Cambridge Critique’.

Her paintings have been collected worldwide, as far as Canada, America and Australia. Her work 'Unforgiving Elements' (200 x 150cm) was exhibited at the Oxo Tower, London in 2023 as part of the Chaiya Art Prize and long listed for the Jackson Painting Prize 2022.

PROCESS
Georgia's contemporary landscape painting’s are bold and alive with movement. “Constantly inspired by our changing British landscape, there is something about being out in vast, natural places that reminds me how small & insignificant we really are. There’s a beauty and a relief in that, it’s a reminder of our place in the world, that we can’t control everything and it gives us permission to surrender. ” Some people feel calmed in these natural places but for Georgia it almost charges her up. Feeling free and alive she brings this energy back to the studio. Painting intuitively with high energy across several canvases, she bounces between them encouraging movement and immediacy.
Georgia relishes working on a large scale, using mops & squeegees to shift the paint to its desired effect. Building atmospheric layers contrasted by bold decisive marks.
“Each painting has it’s own journey, I never plan an image or a colour palette as this hinders me from painting with complete freedom and emotion.” As the painting’s build layer upon layer, the suggestion of a landscape begins to emerge and the process slows down. Georgia encourages this landscape to come through, persuading the viewer’s focus but conscious to keep taking risks right up until the final stroke, ensuring the painting retains a visceral energy.
