About / cv
Georgia Elliott is a contemporary British painter living and working in rural Buckinghamshire, where the surrounding countryside and woodlands shape and feed her practice.
Rooted in a deep connection to the landscape and its natural rhythms, she explores place through walking, drawing and painting en plein air. Her expressive paintings feel alive as she captures the feeling of a landscape rather than an exact likeness, responding to fleeting sensations of light, atmosphere, sound, colour and movement.
Working mainly in oils, acrylic and oil stick, Elliott builds dynamic, tactile surfaces through bold, layered gestures using brushes, rags and her hands. Her work moves between representation and abstraction, expressing the energy and rhythm of the natural world while inviting viewers to connect with their own memories, emotions and experiences.
“Paint feels like an extension of my hand, when I'm in flow, my hands move faster than my thoughts. Colours, light, shape, sound, energy, everything is pulled from my surroundings onto the canvas, layering and shifting until the story of that moment feels heard.”
Georgia draws on her experience of painting and drawing from life, colour theory, textiles and years of printmaking, along with her formal training, a BA (Hons) in Illustration from the University for the Creative Arts in Maidstone, Kent (where Tracey Emin studied). She exhibits widely across the UK, including a two metre painting at London’s Oxo Tower. She has collaborated with brands and creatives such as the Omaze house draw and Lydia Millen. Painting a series of works in Lydia’s garden, The Secret Garden collection which sold out. Her paintings have been seen in magazine’s such as Good Housekeeping and In style, and are held in collections worldwide.
Georgia works directly with collectors and interior designers and welcomes commissions, collaborations and events - Get in touch.
