Artists Bio
Georgie has always had a passion for the countryside, preferring to spend her Summer holidays riding horses and racing round the fields on the quad bike over going into town and hanging out with friends. Horses have been the constant presence in her life, through all the ups and downs of life, they evoke a sense of calm and compassion that Georgie has always been drawn to.
During school, Georgie focussed on figurative acrylic forms and only started drawing animals later on in life, when she was studying to be an art teacher. It was the 2020 lockdown which allowed Georgie the freedom to explore more subjects and through practice, became very skilled in realistic colour pencil drawings of horses and other animals. Georgie was selected for the Leamington Open exhibition in 2022, with an original drawing in her unique perspective horse style labelled ‘Nosy Pony’ and again, the same competition in 2024 with a bay horse on a drastic black background.
Up until 2023, Georgie had focussed mainly on pet portraits, allowing her to expand her portfolio in animal portraiture. It was in 2023, whilst Georgie was temporarily living in New York, where she began doing her own original portraits of equestrian still life and wildlife. This led to a new selection of original pieces which she used on a range of homewares. Into 2024, Georgie started working on figurative forms again, this time using colour pencil and experimenting with different textures of clothing. Her first collection titled Countryside Pursuits, was a collection of realistic works portraying outdoor countryside sports and rural fashion clothing.
Alongside this collection, Georgie also formed her own Nosy Pony exhibition which she showcased at The Game Fair held at Blenheim Palace. This unique perspective of a horse, where the nose is the most prominent feature, is a quirky and contemporary twist on traditional horse portraiture. Viewers love this style for its honest and real representation of how a horse acts in reality, sticking their noses in your face for kisses and carrots.
Georgie wants to inspire a love for the great outdoors and country pursuits through her art. It is so important for Georgie that the British countryside continues to hold prestigious value for the next generation and that being outdoors becomes part of every child’s life.
