GEORGETTE
Georgette was born in
Egypt of British parents and educated privately in London, where early
signs of artistic talent were noted. Later on Georgette was offered a
bursary to Art’ College but this was not to be as her interests were
more artistic than academic. Georgette pursued the course of open
classes at the National and other galleries, and has traveled
extensively in pursuit of her interests. Her artistic studies were
enhanced by tutelage from various independent professional artists.
Georgette has made Australia her home and currently she is a member of
the Brisbane Sculpture Society. She also taught sculpture at Moreton
Institute of TAFE. Examples of her sculptures are in the collections of
a number of private collectors as well as at Ormiston College and
various Art Galleries.
What is art? To some
people it's something they buy, to either decorate their wall, as in a
painting - or - decorate their furniture, as in a piece of sculpture.
Art to me, is something quite different. I strongly believe that art is
an experience, and it has to be experienced
