Georgia Peskett is a British painter whose recent work explores memory, perception, and internal dialogue through an intensely personal and psychologically charged visual language. Often reflecting on her experience as a neurodivergent painter, her works from 2020 onwards examine states of introspection, emotional ambiguity, and the fragmented nature of recollection.

Using stretched silk as her primary medium, Peskett creates paintings that hover between figuration and abstraction. Veils, windows, dusk scenes, and twilight atmospheres recur throughout the work as metaphors for distance, concealment, and transition. These luminous, amorphous images possess a subtle memento mori quality, balancing intimacy with impermanence. Memory and present experience merge within the paintings, as observations from her current surroundings intertwine with excavated fragments of the past to form a new visual language — one through which she seeks to reclaim an authentic voice through painting.

Peskett studied at Epsom School of Art between 1982–1984, receiving a Diploma in Art and Design. She later lived in New York from 1986–1989, working as a studio assistant to several artists, during which she began developing her painting practice.

Her recent solo exhibition New Art at Home was presented at Twickenham Lion House, UK (2021). Selected group exhibitions include Flow at Seager Gallery, London (2026); the Irving Gallery Open, Oxford (2026); Unquiet Landscapes at Yorkshire Art Space, Sheffield (2026); the London Group Open at Copeland Gallery, Peckham (2025); Doubles and Triples at Three Rooms Gallery, London (2025); 100/50 at Unit 1 Gallery, London (2025); the Linden Hall Winter Open Exhibition, Deal, Kent (2024); Silent Disco curated by Graham Crowley at GreyStone Industries, Suffolk (2023); A Room of One’s Own at Irving Gallery, Oxford (2024); and the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition (2015, 2019, 2020 & 2022).

She was longlisted for the Contemporary British Painting Prize in 2023 and 2024, and longlisted for the Jackson’s Painting Prize in 2018, 2021, and 2022.

Her work is held in collections including the BT Telecom Collection, London; Bentley Headquarters, Cheshire; the collection of the Earl of Chichester; Verve Properties, London; and SIP Partners, London.
