About

Georgie grew up wandering barefoot and free in the red dirt and swimming in the rivers and water holes of outback NT. From a very young age her little Wiggles backpack was always full of pencils, paints, string, leaves, reptilian ‘friends’ and treasures, some of which may have been ‘borrowed’ from Bower Bird nests.

Around the age of ten, the Dunn family swapped the bush for the beach, moving to the tropical paradise of Magnetic Island. Exploring the pristine beaches and fringing reef awakened in Georgie a deep respect and curiosity of the ocean and what lies beneath the surface. “Nature is my happy place, especially under water. I am in constant awe of the beauty and power of the ocean”.

During her schooling years Georgie attended afternoon lessons with local artist Vonnie van Bemmel, providing a creative outlet and setting her up with a fundamental understanding of the rules and techniques used in acrylic painting. “One of the important things I learnt from Vonnie is that not everything has to be perfect. There is beauty in the imperfection; perfectly imperfect’.

Georgie’s creative and nomadic heart and soul then saw her complete a Bachelor of Design at the Whitehouse Institute of Design in Melbourne after graduating high school in Townsville.  After 4 years in the brutal winters, she went back up North to the sunshine state and used Magnetic Island as a base for a few years while tour guiding up the East coast and overseas, and painting on the side all the while.

During covid, Georgie was lucky enough to land back on Maggie and spend several months here, before moving to Uluru the day that the NT borders opened with her partner, Adam. “Uluru is an incredibly beautiful and spiritual place, really like no other. I learnt a lot from the country out there, about myself, my art and everything surrounding me”. She missed the ocean, and another two years later Georgie and Adam made the move to Broome, finally able to see the ocean over the red sand dunes.

Georgie has been in constant awe at the wild, raw and intense beauty of the Kimberley region ever since arriving in August 2022. Inspired by the extremely ancient and wise energy of the land, the intricate patterns and spectacular colours, Georgie’s work reflects her zest for life and love for this extraordinary country we call home.

“My art is a love letter to the universe. I paints what I feel, hoping to offer a deep sense of peace, calm, and tranquillity”.  Her work’s vibrant colours and detailed patterns mirror her surroundings, depicting the energy and wisdom of the Earth and its elements. Making art is a meditative practice for Georgie, favouring soft and fluid mediums that fuse effortlessly with minimal interference.

From coast to coast, Georgie now calls both Broome and Magnetic Island, ‘home’.
