Lanky Winged Creatures Come to Life in Exquisite Gouache Paintings

Bird illustrations by Georgina Taylor

Georgina Tay­lor paints exquis­ite crea­tures on paper. With detailed lines and inky wash­es, she brings lanky birds, rep­tiles, and mam­mals to life. They often stand among trop­i­cal plants, but that’s about all that Georgina tells us about their locales. Her sub­jects exist in a blank space; this for­mal choice makes them stand out (they look great on prod­ucts), but it also presents a con­cep­tu­al enig­ma. Where are these crea­tures? It’s almost as if they’re in an alter­nate uni­verse where time and place mean noth­ing. Can I go there too?

Georgina sells her work as orig­i­nals and prints through her online shop. See what she’s work­ing on now via her Insta­gram.

Georgina Taylor brings creatures to life through her exquisite paintings. My favorites are her bird illustrations!
