Georgina’s Story

  • I am of Hungarian nationality, grew up in Sydney, Australia, and have traveled much of the world. My 28 year architectural career, with award winning architectural firms, was interrupted by a lengthy physical disability. In dealing with the disability, I found a creative and therapeutic passion, which has given me the opportunity to recreate a career in mosaics. Utopian Arcology (sustainability and evolution) has always been my business. I have joined forces with the ecological revolution to use discarded materials for beauty. I create “Places” with our waste.
