Hailing from Melbourne George Petrou is a successful graphic designer and acclaimed portrait artist. Passionate about ordinary Australians who have served our nation with gallantry and sacrifice, George captures the eye and gives voice and further life to their incredible stories. George’s portraits proudly hang in museums in France, Government House Canberra, and a range of military institutions across Australia

As a patron for TPI Victoria Inc, George assists in supporting the interests and welfare of ex-servicemen and women, their families and dependents. In June 2020 George was awarded an OAM for “Services to the Visual Arts and to Veterans”, and in the same year he released his amazing book, The Art Of Sacrifice. – a haunting and poignant exploration of George’s life and the Anzac Spirit.
