Georjean Busha Hertzwig is a fine artist whose works capture the very essence of her subjects. Specializing in portrait and landscape paintings and free-standing and relief sculptures, Georjean examines her subjects in their natural surroundings, taking particular interest in how they interact with their owners and environment.  She has studied art techniques for a lifetime by analyzing anatomy, physical genetic locomotion and biological mechanics.   Her mentors include Robert K. Abbett, one of America's contemporary art masters in the genre of outdoor art; John Zahourek founder of the Anatomy in Clay™; world-renowned equine artists Else Tuckerman, Faye Moore, and Marilyn Newmark; and George Aarons who was a distinguished sculptor who lived and taught in Gloucester, Massachusetts for many years until his death in the late 1970s. 

When working with animal subjects, she draws from over 30-years experience as a Hall of Fame breeder of Australian Shepherd dogs who have consistently achieved championships in conformation, herding, obedience, tracking and agility while remaining true to their herding and guardian instincts. She is a founding member and past President of the American Kennel Club (AKC) affiliated club,  United States Australian Shepherd Association (USASA), member of the Breed Standard Committee, judges both in the United States and Europe,  and worked on the AKC breed video production. She is a trainer of champion jumpers, hunters and Dressage horses. Her trained eye can take in the sequence of movements of a horse, dog, cat, bird or any variety of pet allowing her to envision their skeletal structure and muscular stature that defines the unique characteristics of the animal. This translates into a very personal experience with her subject that makes the work of art come alive.

Whether it is oil, pastel, or watercolor painting or a 3-dimensional bronze sculpture, Georjean’s creations present a kinesthetic and visual quality preserving precious memories that will stand the test of time. Capturing that cherished moment in an objet d’art will live on forever.
