During Georgie’s career she has curated a number of culturally compelling exhibitions, including in 2006, the first Contemporary Aboriginal Art exhibition held in South Korea, Sisters Dreaming at the Kwanhoon Gallery, Insadong, Seoul.  This exhibition showcased work by six of Australia’s leading female Aboriginal artists from the Warlukurlangu and Papunya Tula communities.

In October 2007, Georgie presented Desert Masters at the prestigious Gallery Sejul in Pyungchang-dong, Seoul, opened by the Australian Ambassador to Korea, His Excellency, Mr Peter Rowe. This exhibition received notable attention from a range of sectors including art institutions, educational bodies and collectors.

In 2010 in Hong Kong, Georgie curated the return of Korean artist Lee Sang Hyun after a nine-year hiatus induced by political persecution. Past and Present, An Awkward Reunion, explored the relationship between South Korea and Japan during the elimination of the Korean Royal family.

Throughout Georgie’s career she has cemented strong professional relationships with corporate and private collectors, galleries and art professionals. Georgie has provided art advisory services to a number of prominent collections including Clifford Chance, Singapore, First State, Hong Kong and the Peter McMahon Collection, Melbourne.
