Now, through her intricate fine-liner illustrations and workshops, Georgie explores creativity as a powerful tool for mindfulness, self-expression, and wellbeing. Inspired by nature’s delicate details, her work invites people to slow down, find beauty in the small things, and reconnect with their own creativity—no matter their stage in life.
