Georgia Hunter is a Canadian author/artist residing in North Vancouver, Canada. She lives in a sweet house she calls a bush-bungalow, which is shrouded by four huge evergreens. She likes living in harmony with the forest. Although she was born in Winnipeg and she lived for a few years with her husband and young son on their dairy farm in Alberta, her formative years were on the west coast. She taught school for the Vancouver School Board. Georgia is a multi-talented and gifted visual artist working in a variety of mediums. She holds a degree from the University of British Columbia majoring in Fine Arts. She did further studies in sculpture at the University of Lethbridge and Visual Communications in the Medicine Hat College. She received the Board of Governors’ Award for Art and was twice awarded a bursary for high grade point average for Visual Communications. Georgia’s sculptures have gained recognition in the wider art community in the years following her formal training. Her sculpture ‘Gentle Affection’ won Best of the Show for Sculpture in an Alberta province-wide show. In 2002 her sculpture ‘Salmon’ won honorary mention at the Seymour Art Gallery. In 2004 her sculpture ‘Lessons from Geese’ won The Delta Arts Council award for three-dimensional work. Her sculpture ‘Salmon’ was short-listed out of seventy-eight submissions for public art in the city of Vancouver Public Art Competition. She is also involved in public art as a creator of street banners for the city of Vancouver. Galleries in Vancouver, Toronto, Calgary and Bellevue, Wa. handled Georgia’s sculptures. Her pieces are in collections in England, New York, Calgary and Vancouver. Eventually, Georgia’s life long fascination with story swayed her more and more towards writing. She returned to formal training to hone her skill in writing and editing and her Irish heritage might have manifested itself in her imaginative storytelling or perhaps it was that she kissed the Blarney Stone on one of her many travels. Georgia draws on the wonderful experiences, places and people she has encountered in traveling. She has circumnavigated the world, become a member of the Circumnavigators’ Club and lived for extended lengths of time in other countries. Her stories are highly influenced by her journeys to beautiful and exotic places. For example, Yubi and the Blue-tailed Rat is a story that began after visiting an ancient lavender mill on the island of Hvar, Croatia. Other stories are rooted in South Africa, Cuba and Eastern Europe.
