Since graduating from the Glasgow School of Art in 2018, Georgia has been working as a printmaker across the United Kingdom, Ireland, Italy and Portugal.

Georgia’s site-specific work responds directly to the natural and urban rhythms of her surroundings, where she often pauses to collect flora and observe fauna which she duplicates and translates into colourful prints. For Georgia, landscape is not so much a view of a place as it is a culmination of broken sensations and colours. It is the multitude of humdrum treasures found underfoot or the warmth which floods her mind when she is sat indoors hours after she has gone for a walk. It collides into interiors, dreams and conversations. Georgia’s prints reflect this through the intimate mingling of bedrooms, dreams and figures alongside the plants, trees and animals evocative of the countryside she inhabits.

Whilst printmaking is a very traditional medium, Georgia aims to challenge this notion by deliberately turning to contemporary methods of mark-making. The modern, rapid method of Risograph printing has had a massive impact her practice, alongside her exploration into digitally layered prints. These forms of contemporary expression have allowed Georgia to challenge her colour palette and push her prints into the realm of the surreal. The results are a reinvention of the familiar, and a vein of magic running through her personal interpretation of the locations in which she lives.

Georgia has been selected as the 2021 summer Artist in Residence at Zaratan – Arte Contemporânea in Lisbon, Portugal. She also has the honour of being awarded the position of Resident Eco-Artist at Montemero Art Residency in Spain this autumn.
