Born at Craigavad, Co. Down, Georgina Moutray Kyle was educated at home by governess and tutors. After attending the Colarossi’s studio in Paris in 1880’s, she travelled widely before returning to Ireland with a distinctly modern palette and post-impressionist style. She also exhibited works of Concarneau and Quimperlé at the RHA and the Belfast Society. She became an active committee member of the Belfast Art Society (later called the Ulster Academy of Arts) and was a dominant persona in Belfast exhibitions in the 1920s and 30s.
