Georgia was very young when she knew that she wanted to become an artist. As she got older, she attended art classes to try and find what she really loved about art. Even though people enjoyed the work that she produced as a student, she was never fully satisfied by her own creations. She decided to abandon the arts for a while because she had yet to find her "true calling." During this time, she decided to become a commercial artist and eventually a teacher. As she was teaching, she also started to attend classes at the Teachers college of Columbia University. It was then and there when Georgia finally became inspired to move back into the world of art. It was because of the professor, Arthur Dow, that Georgia finally found "something of her own" and that started her path to achieve great things within the world of art.

Georgia focused on landscapes, cityscapes and still lifes when it came to her drawings and paintings. At the time, she went against what the art world was offering at the time (chaotic images) and instead created beautiful and precise pieces of art that are still known today as some of the most compelling.
