Artist Statement

Gina is an intuitive abstract painter. There is no set process or planned outcome. She works in layers, each one creating a new expression of the piece, with new composition, color relationships, and personality. She adds, experiments, pauses, and re-works until each piece feels right. Her painting practice journeys to a place of discovery, growth, adaptability, and self-study. She welcomes new techniques, materials, and approaches as the layers develop in real time. The depth created through her layering techniques provides each piece with a unique story and history. Gina's dreamlike works mingle themes of place, landscape, memory, and being present to the beauty that surrounds us.
