Gina knew from an early age she wanted to be an artist. Her pens and
pencils were her constant companions. Having an opportunity to be mentored
with nationally acclaimed Artist, Josette Gourley, in high school, had a
strong impact on her. She received two scholarships to prestigious Art
schools, on her way to becoming a Fashion Illustrator. Fashion was a
passion but instead of the drawing board, it took her to the "catwalk"
were she worked as a professional runway and print model for 12 years.
After marriage and raising a family and a very successful career in Real
Estate it was finally time to get back to her first love. And like an old
friend... Art was there waiting. Her brushes haven't left her hands for
many years now. With lots of time to make up, Gina is devoted to learning
and improving daily. Gina has mentored with nationally acclaimed Artist,
Kevin Macpherson and Andy Braitman along with studies and workshops
with several other acclaimed Artists in Canada, Southern France and
Tuscany. Gina has honed her skills in record time, a prolific painter with
natural talent and a quick study. She is completing her life long dream
and her true calling. Gina's paintings have been shown in numerous juried
regional and national shows as well as Solo Shows. She is a featured
artist in numerous galleries throughout the Southeast and has many private
and corporate collectors throughout the USA, UK and Paris. With many of
her collectors owning multiple works! Well versed in multiple mediums and
varied subject matter Gina's paintings are rich in color, mood and spirit.
There is an inherent warmth and quality to her work that pulls the viewer
in and won't let them go. As an Artist, she would like her paintings to
represent the passion she feels in her subject matter. Gina is recognized
by her distinctive style in her popular "Red Umbrella" European and New
York Cityscapes. She loves painting En Plein Air and traveling when ever possible to new and exciting locations. Gina is honored to be the Creative Art Director / Resident Artist aboard the Queen Mary2 and Queen Elizabeth during the summer 2011-12.
