With a degree in painting from Boston University and
Illustration from Bristol West of England, Georgia Fiennes
née
Verey, combines highly accomplished draftsmanship with her own
wicked sense of humour. Placing her animal subjects in all
manner of creations, often glamourous
and always entirely original, her paintings offer a sense of
real fun and an escape from the
traditional.
Influenced by Edward Lear, Paula Rego, John Currin, Michael J.
Austin, Georgia explains ‘All my paintings exemplify my love of
animals, however not in the traditional sense. I like to place
my subjects in unexpected or humourous circumstances. Facial
expressions, colour harmonies and textures are key when deciding
upon my compositions.’
Georgia has worked as a full-time artist since 2004 showing
her work at regular exhibitions
including a solo show in February 2009. Due to
her highly personal style she
also works to commission throughout
the animal kingdom. |
