Gina was born in Devon where rolling hills and dramatic seascapes played a major part in her childhood. For the past 30 years she has lived and worked in London.
Both places seep into her expressive, bold, gestural paintings, which she has exhibited in shows in London, Milan, Brighton and Exeter.

While studying for a Fine Art Degree, her work developed from Painting to Performance Art. In 1979 she gained a First Class Honours Degree and in the 80’s was very active in producing Performances in galleries and art spaces and lecturing in Art and Design. After further study at Chelsea College of Art she moved into Set Design for Television and has enjoyed a highly successful 27 year long career, creating a huge variety of stages and studio sets across many genres. Always approached with a painterly eye, her Production Design credits include Shooting Stars, Goodness Gracious Me, The Brit Awards, The Royal Variety Performance, Mercury Music Prize and many major B.B.C. Sports Events. She has lectured and mentored in Art and Design and Design for Television.

In 2003 Gina returned to painting, producing semi-abstract, sometimes abstract work often featuring growth, apertures and openings. Most recently whilst visiting France and travelling in Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos she has photographed several series of transient forms and marks on walls and surfaces, which form unique atmospheric worlds, each with their own pictorial resonance or echo. Many are redolent of things half remembered, some resemble fragments of old charts and maps, others feature overt elements of graphic representation. All display Gina's continuing passion for colour and painterly mark making.

Her work is in a growing number of private collections both nationally and Internationally.
