Taking classes throughout the pandemic, she walked twenty eight preserves, parks, and ponds in New York and Connecticut, each visit memorialized in her signature horizontal blue journals.

Ginny grew up, the daughter of a USAF Pilot and Teacher living in Montana, Japan, Northern California, Pasadena, California, and New York; each with their diverse and distinct natural beauty. Her formative years were spent in the Northern California Wine County, where she drove tractors through vineyards and picked fruit and nuts from the many species of trees. Certainly Ginny's childhood living in such varied environments seeded her love of Botanical Art. Ginny attended college in Los Angeles receiving a Bachelors in Science of Professional Arts degree which lead to her to a fifty year career in Design.

Ginny has been published in the "Journal of the American Society of Botanical Artists". Her article entitled, "Pulling Up Roots" highlighted the infl uence that place and environment have on an artist and their work. She is a member of ASBA and Tri-State Botanical Artists.

Ginny has exhibited her work in New York at Innisfree Garden and Washington State at "Art Walk Edmonds" . Ginny's work continues to be commissioned by Patrons from coast to coast.
