Georgie
Young is a graduate of Glasgow School of Art
and paints mainly contemporary Scottish landscapes.
Her paintings reflect the highly contrasting
mountains, hillscapes, lochsides, moorland and
coastlines of the West, East and far North of
Scotland.Her work aims to evoke a feeling and
capture a sense of place, an atmosphere or an
unexpected detail rather than reproduce a direct
likeness. The paintings are a product of observation,
interpretation and improvisation: the original
observation is processed, re-examined and the
essence abstracted.In the past she has concentrated
on predominantly Scottish subjects but, more
recently, the hills and plains of the North
and South of Spain have also featured in her
work. For many years Georgie lived, taught and painted
in Ayrshire. She now lives in Edinburgh in sight
of the Castle. Georgie has exhibited in solo, joint and mixed
shows in Edinburgh, Glasgow, London, Perthshire,
Cannes and New York
