Georgia Mansur
Georgia Mansur had her first exhibition at the age of 16. She feels painting is about communication – not so much a photographic copy but more story telling and how the subject makes you feel – putting your emotions and mood into the painting and making it very personal and moving. Students have nicknamed Georgia ‘the Art Whisperer’ because she helps them express their creative passions and develops a deeper connection with themselves and nature.
For the 15 years or so before the global pandemic, she was teaching somewhere around the world for a combined total of about 8 months of the year. Now that things are beginning to change, she is slowly adding in more travel and teaching internationally and domestically. Georgia will be teaching in Cambridgeshire in the UK from 2022
Although she is well versed in most media, she has a passion for water media and particularly painting en plein air (outdoors) for the immediate visual feedback and immersion experience.
