Georgina Heywood-Smith has become well known for her signature black and white engraved artworks, all inspired by her surroundings throughout the south-west of England.

Following a distinguished career in textile design, Georgina now practices in one of the oldest forms of printmaking to create her work, and the labour-intensive process to create her pieces allows for time and space to study her chosen subjects, in great detail. Her work is founded in realism, and is a close observation of her environment. 

Georgina has previously exhibited at the Royal Academy of Arts Summer Exhibition, The Royal Society of British Artists Annual Exhibition, NEAC and The Society of Wood Engravers Annual Exhibition.
