ABOUT / CV

Georgia Elliott is a contemporary British landscape painter whose work is an intuitive, expressive response to her natural surroundings. Living and working in the English countryside (Buckinghamshire) she often works on location out in the fields and woodlands near her home.

Georgia has a diverse creative background, including printmaking, textiles and freelance illustration, along with a BA (Hons) in Illustration. After relocating from Brighton to the countryside in 2018, she began painting landscapes from memory. This evolved into a deeper exploration of place, emotion and sensory experience. 

The woodlands or county landscape may feel quiet at first, but by tuning into a place through drawing or painting Georgia starts to notice that it’s not quiet at all. It's alive with movement, sound, communication, energy and life. Paint is applied in bold, layered gestures with brushes, rags and bare hands, resulting in dynamic, tactile surfaces. Her work feels alive as she seeks to translate the felt experience.

“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 exhibits through galleries across the UK, from St Ives in Cornwall up to Harrogate in North Yorkshire. Along with art fairs such as The Affordable Art Fair London, Manchester Art Fair, The Other Art Fair London, Fresh and Contemporary Art Fairs.

Her work has been displayed at London’s Oxo Tower as part of the Chaiya Art Prize. She has collaborated with John Lewis on a number of art prints and worked with influencer Lydia Millen to paint her garden ‘The Secret Garden’ series. Her work has been seen in Good Housekeeping, Instyle magazine & the Cambridge Critique after her solo exhibition in 2023. Her paintings are held in private homes and commercial spaces worldwide; across the UK, Europe, Canada, America & Australia.

Georgia also works directly with collectors and interior designers and welcomes enquiries for commissions, collaborations and live painting events. For enquiries get in touch 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.”
