Having gained her BFA at Parsons, The New School in both Paris and New York, British born artist Georgina Crisford returned to London and started painting from her Wiltshire studio while studying part time at Lavender Hill Studios (now London Fine Art Studios). It was here that Georgina received formal training in the traditional techniques of oil painting and drawing, and it is this mixture of contemporary and traditional training that has had a great influence on her work today.
Georgina is drawn to documenting scenes of the domestic interior ranging from intimate to grand, cluttered to sparse, staid to whimsical. These interiors are either real or imagined. Working both from life and also using found images, Georgia's room portraits are exactly that – paintings which convey an almost biographical feeling of a room, the sense of what has been before. Often empty and almost staged, there is a quiet stillness about her work in which human presence is felt rather than seen.
