Artists Statement

I’m inspired by the everyday beauty of rural Britain—the horses, working dogs, wildlife, and people who live and connect with the land. My art celebrates equestrian sports, field sports, and traditional country pursuits, capturing the rhythms of life outdoors and the quiet moments that make the countryside so special.

I work primarily in coloured pencils and pastels, occasionally adding touches of gold or silver leaf. I aim to balance lifelike detail with expressive marks, creating pieces that feel both realistic and full of character. I like to draw from unique perspectives, leaving part of the scene to the viewer’s imagination so they can step into the moment themselves.

Much of my inspiration comes from the connection people have with the natural world—whether it’s a childhood memory, a cherished horse, or spotting wildlife during a woodland walk. I hope my work resonates with those who love the countryside, evoking sentiment, curiosity, and a sense of belonging in these landscapes.

For me, creating is about preserving the traditions and spirit of rural life in a contemporary way. By celebrating British wildlife, equestrian pursuits, and the people who care for the land, I hope my art keeps these scenes alive for future generations while reminding viewers why they fell in love with the countryside in the first place.

Artists Biography

Georgie Turner is a British equestrian, country, and game artist inspired by the everyday beauty of rural life and traditional country pursuits. Working primarily in dry media, she hand draws each piece in pastels or coloured pencils, often adding touches of silver or gold leaf. Her distinctive style blends lifelike detail with expressive, dynamic marks, capturing animals, equestrian sports, field sports, and British wildlife with authenticity and character.

Georgie studied Art at A-Level before earning a BA Honours in Graphic Design and a PGCE in Secondary Art & Design. Despite her formal training, her coloured pencil and pastel work is entirely self-taught—a journey that has allowed her to develop a unique and personal approach to her subject matter.

Living in Stratford-upon-Avon with her husband, daughter, dogs, and horses, Georgie is deeply inspired by the traditions, heritage, and way of life that define the British countryside. Horses have always been a huge part of rural Britain, shaping everything from work to sport, and through her equestrian art she celebrates the culture that keeps the countryside alive. Her work preserves the heart of country life—its field sports, British country pursuits, equestrian sports, country sports, and the generations of people who care for the land. She also finds endless inspiration in the beauty and character of British wildlife, weaving it into her celebration of rural traditions.

Her artwork has been exhibited across the UK and is collected through social media, as well as at equestrian and game fairs, where her pieces continue to connect with those who share her love of the countryside.
