Biography

Gina Marie was born in rural Indiana, on a warm fall day in September, and she still resides there today. Her passion for art has been with her throughout her life. She has been drawing since she became old enough to hold a crayon, and has never lost her love for creating. She has worked in many mediums, through out the years, and today mainly works in water color, and polymer clay for her figurative sculptures. Her main inspirations are the glory of nature, ancient myth and legend, fairy tales, and her own little muse, who forever whispers in her ear. Several years ago an accident almost took her dominant right fore arm and hand. A solid year of recovery became a period of growth for the artist. In this year she discovered what she had been telling friends and family along, she could not live sanely without the creative process, of her mind and hands. After a slow and painful recovery period she regained the use of her right hand once more, and she began to actively pursue her love of art on a daily basis. Gina Marie lives on a farm, with many animal friends, her two children when they are not attending college, and her husband of over twenty years. She actively pursues environmental causes, animal rights causes, religious tolerance, and women's rights. Her hobbies in her spare time are, reading good fantasy novels, writing poetry and short stories, gardening both veggies and herbs, hiking, fishing, swimming, watching football, camping, and horse back riding.

I also have flexible payment plans for higher priced non commissioned originals, if the buyer is a PayPal user. Please email me for details!

Trades: Will do some trading, depending on my schedule. Which is very tight at the moment.
