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!
