Ginny is from the small town of
Bedford in the shadow of the
Peaks of Otter in southern
Virginia. Her rural upbringing no
doubt plays an important role in
inspiring her creativity, which over
the years has expressed itself in
many forms, most often linked to
capturing the inherent beauty she
finds in nature.
Like her mom, she enjoyed
sewing and knitting for many
years. Eventually, in the late
1970s, she started taking
photography workshops and
joined a local camera club. This
then lead to taking drawing
lessons, and eventually an
interest in watercolor.
When I asked Ginny what brought
her to watercolor, she answered
"I'm allergic to oils, and I couldn't
find anyone to teach me pastels.
By happy chance your class was
advertised at a time when I was
ready to move from black and
white drawing to a color medium."
So that's how we met, way back in
2003, and we have been
journeying in creativity together
ever since.
Ginny's short term goals include
improving her drawing, painting
and photography skills, as well as
helping to organize displays of
paintings and photographs at
local community centers and
public venues. And perhaps, like
her aunt, she may even find the
time to experiment with pastels,
too, in between helping her grand
kids and caring for her grand dogs.
It is indeed a privilege and a joy for
me to be able to share Ginny's
beautiful work with you. May we all,
like Ginny, see the extraordinary
beauty in the ordinary that
surrounds us.
