Georgie River is an emerging artist based in Mullumbimby, Northern NSW, Australia. Her work explores her relationship with the natural world around her, mostly of, and created on, Bundjalung Nation where she resides.
Mainly self taught, she experiments using acrylics, oils and dry ground pigments, preferring to intuitively work with paint and create from a place of feeling. Through a deep reverence and connection to nature her work acts as a communication between herself and the land, seeking to express visually what is felt viscerally.
Georgie began her journey as a practicing artist 6 years ago after moving up to the Northern Rivers. Mainly self taught since a young age, Georgie obtained a Diploma of Art and Design in London before undertaking a BA (hons) in Photography at the University for the Creative Arts in 2010. She rediscovered her love of painting through her connection to Australian land, when moving here in 2015.
