About / cv
Georgia Elliott is a contemporary British landscape painter whose work is an intuitive, expressive response to her surroundings. Living in the English countryside she works both on location and back in her studio.
Georgia has a diverse creative background including printmaking, textiles and illustration. After relocating from Brighton’s seaside town to the countryside in Buckinghamshire in 2018, she began painting landscapes from memory; but this evolved into a deeper exploration of place, emotion and sensory experience.
Georgia enjoys working out on location in wild landscapes, woodlands and gardens. At first it can feel very calm in these natural settings, but once she starts painting, Georgia notices it’s not quiet at all. It's alive with movement, sound, energy and life. She aims to translate this, evoking the essence of a place rather than an exact likeness. Working intuitively, she lets the painting lead rather than following a pre-planned idea. Paint is applied generously and with urgency, layering colour and marks in response to the environment, using brushes, rags and bare hands,
“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.”
Ultimately, her work brings the outside in, reminding us of what we love, the nature our minds crave and what we don’t want to lose.
Georgia exhibits through galleries across the UK and at establishes art fairs. Her work has been displayed at London’s Oxo Tower as part of the Chaiya Art Prize (2023), and she has worked with John Lewis, Omaze and influencer Lydia Millen (painting her garden The Secret Garden series). Her work has been seen in magazine’s such as Good Housekeeping, In style and the Cambridge Critique. Her paintings are held in private homes and commercial spaces worldwide, including the UK, Europe, Canada, America & Australia.
Georgia works directly with collectors and interior designers and welcomes commissions, collaborations and live painting events - Message Georgia to discuss your ideas.

“Painted en plein air, this expressive work captures the untamed spirit of Georgia Elliott’s practice. Working directly in the landscape with materials and tools gathered to hand, Georgia channels the shifting colours, sensations, and forms around her, distilling them into a visceral abstraction that evokes the essence of place rather than its likeness. We are captivated by the energy in her mark-making, the generous texture of her surfaces, and the intuitive rhythm that runs through every gesture.”
