About the Artist
Georgina is an emerging interdisciplinary artist based in Ballarat, on Wadawurrung and Dja-Dja Wurrung land, Australia. Georgina grew up in rural north east Victoria, on Dhudhuroa and Waywurru land. In 2010 she moved to the city of Ballarat to pursue a university degree in fine art. In 2017 she graduated from a bachelor of environmental management. During the pandemic lockdowns she invested whole heartedly in her art career.

The Art

Her artworks range from delicate pencil illustrations to traditional handmade prints. She works with her individual style and techniques to capture subjects both in a scientific and artistic light.
