ABOUT THE ARTIST

Hello! My name is Gina, and I am a Minneapolis based abstract painter. I currently create in my studio space in the Casket Arts Building in Northeast Minneapolis.

I graduated with a degree in Fine Art from St. Olaf College in 2013, and have been developing a consistent art practice ever since. In November 2022, I quit my job in pursuit of being a full-time artist. Thank you for joining me on this journey of working everyday to develop stronger art and a more sustainable creative business.

ARTIST STATEMENT

Gina is an intuitive abstract painter. Her process journeys inward to a site of discovery, growth, challenge, and stillness as she bonds materials to surroundings, finding trust in the act and beauty in each layer. Through her meditative process, she infuses patience and adaptability into her work, welcoming new techniques, materials, relationships, and approaches as they develop in real time. Gina's dreamlike works mingle themes of place, landscape, memories, connection, color relationships, and energy. Her ethereal paintings work to soothe the mind and create space for moments of contemplation, softness, and personal reflection.
