Georgina Hoby Scutt - Contemporary Painter

Georgina is a painter living in Nelson in Te Waipounamu, the South Island of NZ. 

Informed by her print & pattern textile design background, Georgie develops distinctive, warm and earthy colour palettes and paints with broad expressive brushstrokes. Her work is primarily semi-abstracted landscapes, still lifes and portraits.

I loved meeting Georgie. We have a cool chat about how she came to be a full time painter 8 years ago, how being a self taught artist makes her feel and what she would like to learn more about and connect with to help further inform her practice. We discuss her approach to paint and painting, how she developed her own style and what it represents to her. She shares her process and tells us how she selects a composition for her still life paintings and how she responds to the environment inspired by walking in nature but not necessarily representing exactly what she sees.

We talk about her use of colour and simplified, strong shapes, how she likes to have a number of artworks on the go so they can inform and 'talk' to each other in some way, what she is still learning about the colour blue and what she wants to convey through her work.
