Originally from California, Georgia Mansur moved to Australia in 1984 with her husband. Georgia began painting there as a creative outlet and a way to cope with the isolation in a strange, but fascinating, new country. Georgia and her family live in New South Wales with a 200-acre vineyard. She enjoys the country lifestyle and natural beauty of the gorgeous wine growing region. Her work is a reflection of her emotional response to the world around her, painting subjects in an expressive manner.

Having completed a BA in Communication at CSU Sacramento, Georgia feels painting is an interesting way to communicate with others on many different levels. Her art is diverse in subject matter as well as technique, often displaying her risk-taking, adventurous nature. She spends one month each year at Hamilton Island in the Great Barrier Reef as Artist in Residence, where she exhibits her work and teaches classes.  She loves traveling and sharing her passion for painting with others, helping them to discover their own creativity.

She is a popular instructor around the country, teaching in rural and remote areas of the Outback and Capitol cities in Australia as well as overseas workshops in Italy, France, California, Texas, Virginia, Portugal, Croatia the UK and more.
