Gina was raised in the heart of the south, just north of Atlanta, Georgia. It was there her love for art began in middle school when a friend showed her how to draw a female face and smudge lead for shading which resulted in a deep heart connection. That experience led to a life lived connecting to others through creativity in the forms of photography and interior and garden design. In 2013, her passion for creative adventure led her to brush and canvas. She sought training with Milan Art Institute through their Mastery Program and began painting full time.
Her work is inspired by her relationship with her Creator and His creation. A strong connectedness to that is felt as she paints using acrylic paint and strong mark making with fun tools. She enjoys a loose and drippy process with fun color that expresses joy and whole-heartedness. Her work has been described as liberating, instilling hope and filling the desire for happiness planted deeply in the human heart by God.
She paints in her private studio in Lexington, SC where she resides with Jeff, her husband of over three decades and their sweet cockapoos, Willow and Maddie. The connection to others that art brings is why Gina says she continues to paint prolifically today. Her most current work is especially influenced by time spent in her garden and reflects a simple eternal beauty.
Her work is represented in galleries and boutiques in South Carolina, Georgia and Alabama and collected across the US.

Statement
Every good gift is from above! My art journey has been such a gift and a vehicle to connect with others on our deepest level as the pinnacle of God's Creation. It is with much joy that I paint and express myself while listening to music that fills my soul and using fun material in a loose and simple creative process. I hope you are encouraged by my work to know your Creator's original and beautiful intention in creating you!
