b. 1952 -

Originally from the Midwest, Mrs. Dearborn moved to Cape Cod in 1978. She convinced local artists to form a cooperative art guild, which today has almost 100 members. She taught and served on the boards of two Cape art schools.

Her painting skills adapted quickly to Cape scenes of sand dunes, lighthouses, and boat filled harbors. She was an art instructor in three Cape art schools, with over 200 students. Many were to become professional artists. She has had 6 one woman shows, with several awards including Best In Show. Her painting "Old Rockers," shown above, is in the permanent collection of the Cape Cod Museum of Fine Art. Works have been displayed in galleries in Nantucket, Wellesley, Newbury Street in Boston, as well as in Great Britain.

She has often visited areas for subjects made famous by well known artists and authors that she admires, like Andrew Wyeth in Maine and Pennsylvania, Claude Monet in France, Constable in the Dedham Vale in England, and authors Beatrix Potter, James Herriot, and Wordsworth.

Georgia studied with master painters Claude Croney, Charles Sovek, Tom Lynch, and in England with John Blockley. Publishers Charles River Press and Harper-Row have used her talents to illustrate their books. For years she did drawings for the Countryman, an English publication.

In 2002 she moved to the St. Louis, Missouri area, where she paints daily in her studio
