Georgina is a local artist who creates bold and striking contemporary watercolours of birds and animals. She seeks to create a painting that attracts the viewer’s attention and portrays the character of the animal which is an essential aspect of her work. The eyes are the most important part of her paintings as she feels once she has captured them, the rest falls into place.
As well as being an artist at the Green Tree Gallery, Borde Hill, Georgina has completed numerous commissions nationwide from a robin to celebrate a 70th, a christening duck, and pink flamingos to brighten up a Lake District sitting-room.
She’s thrilled to be exhibiting a variety of works at the Lindfield Art Studio and to be part of the festival for her fourth year running. Alongside her paintings, Georgina will also be showcasing a range of greeting cards which will also be available to buy at the festival. More information about Georgina’s work can be found on her website here.

At this years Lindfield Arts Festival there will be a Cellophane Live Art Installation outside Abbott’s chemist, in the High Street on 21st September. Sarah Gillings is a an award-winning multimedia and street artist who will create a wonderful street art piece using Cellograff. Cellograff is a technique where cellophane is stretched between any available support making paint ready surfaces, in this case Lindfield’s iconic Lime trees!
Cellograff provides the artist the freedom to create murals in a variety of new locations without the restriction of needing a wall. The translucent nature of the plastic adds a fascinating layer of visual complexity to the mural. Sarah’s Cellograff interventions typically involve inserting British wildlife into unexpected settings.
So come along and watch Sarah create a wonderful street art piece using just spray paint and cellophane wrapped around two trees!
More information about Sarah’s work can be found on her website here, her Instagram here or her Facebook page here.
