OPEN STUDIO NOVEMBER 9-17th ‘23 November 05 2023, 0 Comments

Hello lovely people!

I’m moving out of my beautiful studio gallery space at 27 Vanguard Street and so decided it was a good time to hang some paintings on the walls and open up the space for a week or two.

It has been a pleasure and a privilege to work in this large and light-filled space. New tenants are taking over the entire building and so it is time for me to move my practice elsewhere. New studio location TBC…!


Meantime, I will be packing up my things and finishing off a number of paintings which will be available to view and purchase from the studio over the next couple of weeks. It would be wonderful to see you at the studio!
Please feel free to drop in anytime between 10am-3pm Monday to Friday or by appointment. 


Best wishes,

Georgie


AVAILABLE ARTWORK November 03 2022, 0 Comments

Hello hello!.

At the Spring Exhibition; Red Gallery, Nelson

Thanks so much for all of your enquiries regarding new and available artwork

I will have new paintings at Turua Gallery in Auckland over the coming months. I will also be showing paintings at my local Nelson gallery Red Gallery, and at Little River Gallery in Canterbury; as well as uploading a few originals online here on my website. 

My new limited edition print, ‘Lamplight’:


I’m working on a series of small landscapes on linen and canvas as well as some large new works - abstracted landscapes in cooler colours. I’m loving this productive time of year and some longer, lighter days. 
Thank you for your patience!

Enjoy your season,

Best wishes,

Georgie


SOLO EXHIBITION - LITTLE RIVER GALLERY September 22 2022, 0 Comments

I’m very happy to let you know that I will be opening my solo exhibition for 2022 at Little River Gallery in Christchurch on October 1st.

This exhibition is the culmination of months of work and I’m thrilled with how this collection of paintings has come together. There are large and small works on linen in a colour palette of muted turquoise skies, golden ochre fields and deep blue shadows. Pops of burnt orange and dirty pink add warmth. The show comprises a dozen original still life and landscape works and will also mark the release of a new limited edition print.



I will be at Little River for the opening on Saturday 1st October at 11am and hope to see some of you there! 
Please contact the gallery for enquiries regarding pre-sales and the online catalogue  

Big thanks.

Shadows On The Ground July 14 2020, 0 Comments


Hello from Argentina,

The days are cold but bright; and the shadows are long.

The pandemic is gathering pace in South America and the local businesses are suffering. Movements are restricted, airports still closed, face masks still mandatory and the locals are staying in. The people here are used to crises and uncertainty and keep marching on. I admire them hugely. 
As for us - we are enjoying our last weeks here in beautiful Mendoza before heading home to NZ. It’s been a difficult decision to leave here but with so many unknowns and restrictions, we feel it’s the right thing to do. 
We are fortunate to have options and NZ is a great one right now.

A few images from the leafy autumn here...

 

 

Best wishes from me to you,

Georgie


Life & Liberties. Argentina. June 18 2020, 0 Comments

Hola! Welcome back  

An update from me to let you know that we are still meandering in Mendoza, post-lockdown. We can now head out to shops, restaurants and parks - with restrictions and social distancing. 
it has been fantastic to get out and about in our local neighborhood.


The autumn here is beautiful. Mendoza is a city of tree-lined streets and many plazas and parks that are crowned with richly-hued deciduous trees; laden with leaves. That, paired with the dry and dusty earth and the biscuit-coloured buildings, and I have a perfect palette from which to work  


On the home front, we are still homeschooling our three children. It has its daily challenges! And impacts hugely on my ability to be creative and get into the studio to paint. That said, I’m inspired daily by my surroundings and am slowly getting together a new body of work. 

Keep in touch via my Instagram account for all the images of daily life here in Mendoza and my latest paintings from the studio. 

Best wishes. Saludos!

Georgie


SOLO EXHIBITION OPENS 24 September in NELSON August 21 2019, 2 Comments

An invitation to my next exhibition, ‘Queens Greens’; which opens 24 September in the McKee Gallery at the Suter Gallery, Nelson.

‘GOLD’ Exhibition opens tonight! May 24 2019, 0 Comments

The countdown is over and opening night is upon us! I’m excited to show this new collection of paintings, ‘Gold’.  

 

It is a good representation of where I am at currently in my art practice - painterly, old-school portraits and loosely rendered landscapes; still dancing in the space between figurative and abstraction. I love the challenge of it.

 

 

This exhibition shows at Red Gallery until June 19. If you’re not in Nelson, please feel free to contact the Gallery directly for any enquiries or to view the artworks online.

Thank you so much for checking in!

Best wishes for a golden Season wherever you are.

NEW YEAR, NEW WORK & COLLABORATIONS January 31 2019, 0 Comments

Hello! Summer school holidays have been in busy, noisy, happy full swing.

I've barely picked up a brush! I am now officially chomping at the bit to get into the studio and start some work on some exciting new projects and paintings. 

These are all little (25 x 25cm) colour studies that serve me as a guide for colour and composition for my larger paintings. I currently have three big landscapes on the go that speak to this.

These paintings are great, affordable original artworks.
