Ginnie has combined her love of gardening and her ability in watercolor to create lustrous florals that seem to glow from within. Often painting flowers grown in her gardens, she uses transparent glazes to create the depth and luminosity that are the hallmark of her work. She exhibits in galleries, invitational shows and outdoor art festivals. Heirlooms from her mother have recently led her into painting still lifes of crystal and lace.
Her longtime hobby of showing dogs trained her eye and led into creating commissioned pet portraits. Working first in oils, then acrylics built up a clientele, but after discovering watercolor while painting florals, the pet portraits are now also done in that medium.
Ginnie has served on the boards of the Associated Artists of Winston-Salem, in North Carolina, the Delaware Foundation for the Visual Arts in Wilmington, Delaware and the Rittenhouse Square Fine Arts Annual in Philadelphia, PA. She is currently serving on the board of the Foothills Arts Council in Elkin, North Carolina, and is a member of several other artists' groups. For three years she was the developer and director of the Spirit of Art, a highly acclaimed national outdoor art festival held in Wilmington, DE.
