Bonjour, Hello, Hej, Nanga def, Hola!
I'm Georgina - painter, children's book illustrator, and nomad. I've lived in
France, England, Senegal and Spain, but these days you'll find me in the
troll-haunted forests of Sweden, sitting on a picnic chair, painting my
impressions of the surrounding vegetation.
I studied Fine Art at
Central Saint Martins, London, where I spent most of my time cutting up road
signs, constructing Platonic solids, painting flowers on buildings, and all together
revelling in the urban landscape.
After graduating in 2005, I soon moved on to children's book illustration and have
since then created images for picture books, school manuals, card games, apps and
websites.
My itchy feet have taken me to exotic places around the world and my drawings are
influenced by travels around Europe, South America, Australasia, Asia, and Africa.
I view my paintings as polite yet curious observations of the people and
landscapes around me, with a penchant for forests and a palette inspired by
vintage posters.
