Georgina Bourke is an A-Level student from Harpenden in Hertfordshire. Her mum secretly signed her up for this project and the first thing she heard about it was when she was offered a place. She is familiar with London, having been born and raised in North London before moving to Hertfordshire at the age of eleven. She regularly travels to London to visit galleries and see music and after finishing college she hopes to study an Art foundation course in London. She has a keen interest in art and currently studies Art, English Literature and Economics at college. She also enjoys travelling and has recently visited Panama. She hates being the centre of attention, and therefore this project is not a natural thing for her to do. She has not set out to achieve anything from this project but just wants to represent herself for who she is. On the plinth she will be painting with oil bars.
