Georgie Roy

Gosfield, Essex

Georgie Roy is a passionate and inspiring Artist based in Gosfield, Essex. "Everything I do is Art related and encouraging others to be creative. My work is very varied in subject, style and medium which is dictated by however I first see any subject, resulting in taking a large variety of materials when working outside. Although I work with all subjects my favourites are Traction Engines and Nudes."
