Gina Barnes
Abstract Expressionist artist specializing in acrylics and mixed media on canvas.
MessageAs an intuitive painter, Gina Barnes approaches her canvases with abandon at first to disrupt the blank slate before her and then with more purpose as the painting progresses and reveals itself. Gina works with acrylics and mixed media to reflect her life experiences and to capture the sentiment of the world around her.
Growing up, she was surrounded by creativity and dreamed of becoming a professional artist. After raising her family, Gina decided to pursue that dream and hasn't put the paint brush down since. Painting has become Gina's way of sharing herself with the world.
Gina lives in Southern California where she has spent her whole life. Most recently she is experimenting with moving away from completely abstract work to exploring faces…all of which are in some ways different facets of herself.
