Georgia is a figurative artist based in London. She trained in portraiture from direct observation at the Heatherley School of Fine Art and expanded her practice into imaginative contemporary painting at the Essential School of Painting. She is interested in storytelling, and in how imagination, memory and feeling can be the springboard for making images. She was the recipient of the Daphne Todd Portrait Prize at Heatherleys and was lucky to receive one of the ESOP Newman Young Artist Scholarships 2019/20. She has exhibited in group shows online and in London, including the ING Discerning Eye and the Self Portrait Prize.
