ABOUT ME!
GEORGINA FLOOD , 35 , is a native of Dublin , Ireland . She lives there with her husband Garry and daughter Mia . Georgina is a self taught , graphite artist . Inspired by her Dad's artistic skills , Georgina has had a lifetime ambition to be a portrait artist .
In college , her instructors thought her work was too stylized and graphic . Luckily , she didn't listen and has developed a very distinct look in her work , with the portrait's hair becoming her signature mark .
> Named after Beatle guitarist , George Harrison , Georgina has been influenced both spiritually and artistically by George and those other three .
2012 has been an exceptional year for Georgina . She was the " guest artist " at both The Welch Beatles Fest in June and The Irish Beatles Fest in July .
June also marked her formal introduction into the U.S. when " Georgina Flood Designs " began sponsoring N.Y.C.'s , " Breakfast with The Beatles " on Q104.3 . In fact , the show , which has been running for over 15 years , asked Georgina to design their first - and only - logo .
The portrait has been used on a promotional tee shirt and listeners who have not won , have been known to have violent protests in the streets surrounding the studio .
Georgina made her debut in the U.S. , in August , at the Chicago Fest for Beatles Fans . That was followed by a an appearance at The Beatles Convention in Liverpool .
Labor Day weekend , she was invited to appear at " Abbey Road on the River " fest , in Washington D.C. , where her entire gallery was on display . Georgina donated a John Lennon original at that fest to raise money for The Desmoid Tumor Foundation .
In October , Q104.3 revolved a live , remote show around Georgina and her work . Host - and fan - Ken Dashow , brought the show to The Hard Rock Cafe in Times Square , N.Y. The station called the event , " the most successful and popular remote broadcast that we have had ".
That event was preceded with a gallery show at The Flywheel Gallery in Piermont N.Y. and followed by a show at The Ward Nasse Gallery in Soho , N.Y. The Soho show was down the street from the Yoko Ono's show celebrating " The Artwork of John Lennon " . Georgina was asked if there could be a co-promotion between her show and Yoko's . Not only did Georgina accept but she donated an original of John and Yoko , " Love is Real " , for Yoko's charity , City Meals on Wheels .
Yoko's awareness and acceptance of Georgina marked the third time that a Beatle - or in this case a spouse - has accepted her work . In 1998 , Ringo accepted a portrait by Georgina , while onstage . His graciousness extended to asking Georgina to stand up and take a bow !
In 2011 , Georgina was asked by a friend and author , to illustrate the cover of her book , written about Paul McCartney . McCartney can be seen in photos , accepting the book .
As Paul celebrated his 70th birthday this year , English rocker , Paul Weller ( formerly of The Jam ) covered The Beatles song , " Birthday " . Weller's cover version was done for charity and appeared on both Apple iTunes and Amazon . Weller asked Georgina to use her work of Sir Paul , titled , " The Fool " , to be used as the cover ( cover ) art .
Quite a year for our lass and hopefully she will really get to work in 2013.
