Georgia moved from California to Australia in 1984 to help her husband develop a Cotton Farm in the Outback.

Mansur now resides in the picturesque wine growing area of Mudgee, NSW.
The artist’s work is a reflection of her emotional response to the world, painting subjects in an expressive manner. Completing a Bach.
