Georgia Fullerton BA, ExAT

Georgia Fullerton is an Expressive Arts Therapist, Visual Artist, Arts-Educator and Public Speaker. She is the former Vice President of the Ontario Expressive Arts Therapy Association, current board member at The Robert McLaughlin Gallery in Oshawa, Ontario and holds a seat  on the Program Advisory Committee for the School of Media Art and Design at Durham  College, Oshawa campus. In 1985 Georgia received her diploma in Visual Arts at Red Deer  College in Red Deer, Alberta before she transferred to Toronto, Ontario to earn a Bachelor of  Arts degree at York University.

JustGeorgia®-Expressive Arts to Heal the Heart was launched in 2013 as a therapeutic arts based business serving the Durham Region and the Greater Toronto Area. JustGeorgia® offers creative arts workshops and community events focused on the art of healing and optimal well being. From her work in community, Georgia forms collaborative partnerships with The Royal

Ontario Museum, Lakeridge Health, Family Services Durham, Elementary Teachers of Toronto,  Durham Black Educators Network, The Regional Municipality of Durham and a number of  school boards and not-for –profit organizations.

Dynamic visual art that explores the relationship between the real and imagined, and reveals emotions and memories of her girlhood and Jamaican roots, Georgia works with an intuitive approach and an abstract expressionist style. Her original art explores the phenomenon of relational energy through colour, form and texture – and has exhibited in public and private

collections throughout Canada, United States, Australia and the Caribbean.

Georgia’s mission is to bolster awareness around the arts and educate all peoples in the  acceptance of art making and empathy as life skills. Engaging all sides of her creative prowess, Georgia continues to deepen her understanding and practise of the arts in the mental health  sector. She practises as a counsellor and Expressive Arts Therapist at The Insight Clinic in  downtown Whitby, Ontario and creates her original art at her home studio in Ajax, Ontario.

“I follow a path of spontaneous exploration and stay sensitively aware of feelings, thoughts, sounds and movement as I create — keeping process over product as my primary goal.”
