The Art of Being an Art Student

EPISODE 6: Talking to Georgina Harris about Abstract Landscapes & 'The Gap'

In the final episode of this term, I am speaking with the 2020 Freeland's Painting Prize winner and Lancaster Fine Art graduate, Georgina Harris. Being part of the last generation of executives on the Up North Arts Society, Georgina has come back to tell us about her journey from a 1st year art student, to the founder of the Morecombe-based art collective, 'The Gap'. She draws on her inspirations and techniques for her large-scale, abstract landscapes and gives advice on how to approach them. We also get a glimpse into what Georgina is currently working on, and her ambitions for the future.  Thank you so much, Georgina!
