Bio

Georgie Stewart is an illustrator artist based in Devon, UK. After obtaining a masters degree in Contemporary Art at Sotheby’s Institute of Art in 2019, Georgie trained at Camberwell College of Art with an MA in Illustration before finishing her studies at the Royal Drawing School in London. Her clients have included Apple, Crown Paints, Rotary Magazine and Soho Press. Georgie spent the most part of 2022 travelling through Europe in her bright orange camper van Jaffa, completing an artist residency on the Greek island of Skopelos. Since returning home she has relocated to North Devon, following an inner calling to reside by the sea. Her second solo show, ‘Travels in My Van’ - a collection of works from and inspired by her time on the road - was exhibited throughout October 2022 between the artist’s hometown in rural Cheshire and London.

Statement

The importance of celebrating colour is integral to my practice - my work is about optimism, and experimenting with colour plays a huge role in that. Drawing underpins my practice, but as an illustrator I embrace the use of digital techniques as well. My artworks embrace colour-driven textures and vibrant, eye-popping landscapes. Joy, curiosity, a zest for life - these are the themes I aim for in my work and they’re reflected through the energetic colour fusions I concoct. I love playing with colours and the balance of an image, and for me these aspects are as important as the act of drawing itself.
