GEORGIA MANSUR AWS, NWS

Georgia moved from California to Australia in 1984 to help her husband develop a Cotton Farm in the Outback. She painted as a creative outlet and a way to cope with the isolation and loneliness of a new lifestyle in a strange but fascinating new country. Mansur now resides in the picturesque wine growing area of Mudgee, NSW.

The artist’s work is a reflection of her emotional response to the world, painting subjects in an expressive manner. Completing a Bach.

Mansur’s paintings are diverse in subject matter and technique, displaying her adventurous nature and love of travel, teaching popular painting workshops all over the world.
