Gina Kenney

Gina loves her family, friends and flowers, and they inspire her art.

“I paint and draw rainbow flowers, hibiscus, big flowers and nice, pretty blooming flowers.  I love doing art, it’s unique, serious,” she said.  Her paintings of people are often surrounded by backgrounds filled with floating flowers. 

In addition to painting, Gina’s favorite medium is the spoken and written word. She writes poems and illustrates them, and creates artist’s books of her collections of poetry and drawings. Gina’s books and paintings may be found in the Good Folk Gallery at Creative Clay.

In a statement about why she makes art, Gina said it best herself.“ I trust myself doing art, it’s my instincts in my heart and that feeling I have I believe that’s why I make art. I want to do more art because it’s inside of me.”
