Who is Georgie & Willow
How it started .....
Georgie and Willow was born from a late-night Pinterest scroll and a desire to create something meaningful. Like many small businesses, it started with curiosity, a little self-doubt, and a lot of heart. After feeling overwhelmed with endless ideas, I took a leap of faith and bought a Cricut machine — and I haven’t looked back since.
What began as making personalised drink bottles and cups for family and friends quickly evolved. The name was one of the hardest decisions — nothing felt quite right until I stumbled across a business name generator that asked for two nicknames. I entered the names of my two sons: Georgie (Jordan) and Willow (Kane). The moment I saw it, I knew it was perfect. That’s when Georgie and Willow truly began.
Soon after, I started creating Indigenous fabric button earrings using a DIY kit from a friend. They quickly gained attention, and from there, the ideas just kept flowing. I continued to teach myself new skills, trying new things, and pushing outside my comfort zone — and that’s when I discovered painting.
Painting gave me something I didn’t even know I was missing — a deep sense of purpose, healing, and connection. I fell in love with the process, the storytelling, and the cultural expression that comes through every brushstroke. What started as a creative outlet has now become the heart of Georgie and Willow.
Today, painting is the core of my business. Through my art, I share stories — some personal, some inspired by community — all rooted in a strong connection to Country, culture, and identity. As a proud Aboriginal woman, my work is a way of honouring my heritage and contributing to the continuation of culture in modern spaces.
Becoming an artist has opened doors I never imagined — from visiting schools and leading workshops to creating large-scale pieces that tell powerful stories. I’m humbled and grateful every step of the way.
A big part of my journey has also been reconnecting with and learning the Yugambeh language. I now include Yugambeh words in all of my artwork. Language is a living, breathing part of our identity, and even if someone learns just one word, that’s a step toward deeper understanding — and every step counts.
Thank you for supporting Georgie and Willow. Whether you’ve connected with my art, learned something new, or simply found joy
A bit about me....
Minyahgu nunya nyeri Robbie
Hello! My name is Robbie, and I’m the proud owner and founder of Georgie and Willow. I am a Mununjali woman, living and creating on Mununjali Country in Beaudesert, Queensland.
I’m the eldest of six children — four sisters, one brother — and part of a big, beautiful mob full of nieces and nephews. Growing up in a large family deeply rooted in culture, I’ve been fortunate to have strong cultural influences embedded in everyday life. These experiences have shaped who I am, grounding me in connection to our people, our Country, and our culture.
Georgie and Willow is more than a small business — it's a platform to raise cultural awareness through art, storytelling, and handmade creations. My goal is to shine a positive light on Aboriginal culture and contribute to keeping it strong and visible for future generations.
Our people have been thriving for over 65,000 years — and we’re not stopping now. There are so many incredible and talented First Nations businesses out there. I feel truly grateful to be part of that community and to be supported by so many inspiring people within it.
Through Georgie and Willow, I hope to celebrate and share culture, language, and connection — one artwork, one story, and one conversation at a time.
