Artist based in Ramsbury, Wiltshire, UK
Georgie Weedon is a British Australian painter born in 1979 in London. Her colourful and joyful semi abstract paintings are inspired by the things she loves: music, the sea, still life and a sense of the “aliveness” of things. She works mostly in acrylic, charcoal and canvas and paints from her studio in Wiltshire where she lives with her husband artist Philip Shaw, and daughters Margot and Rosebud.
Her work reflects her love of colour, the wild and ancient parts of the UK, as well as a mild obsession for the coast, flowers, pottery and jugs. Amongst many others, he is inspired by Bernard Cathelin, Jo Vollers, and the blues of Matisse and Somerset potter George Bronwin.
Her film work was first exhibited in Jordan, London and New York as part of the project and book Offscreen: Four Young Artists in the Middle East(Booth Clibborn Editions) and she has travelled extensively since making documentary films for the BBC and Al Jazeera amongst others.

”While a Hockney original might be slightly out of budget, I’ve fallen in love with the colourful and joyful artwork of Wiltshire-based English-Australian painter Georgie Weedon. Georgie is an old friend of mine and whatever she puts her mind to fizzes with energy and fun - keep an eye on her website for up-and-coming exhibition dates.”
