Gina's career began after completing a Bachelor of Education in Art & Craft with major studies in Textile design & Metalwork.
With a strong interest in the fashion industry and a special interest in knitwear she began working as a design writer for Coats Patons Pty, Ltd.
Soon lured to New York, she moved to the USA and developed into a successful knitwear designer. Gina worked for a number of companies in the USA including Liz Claiborne accessories and later Jennifer reed where she had the opportunity to design private label for many major department stores including Macy's, Bloomingdales, Saks and Nordstrom.
With a love for fashion, colour and design, Gina decided to open her own retail stores called Hues Gallery. She spent the next 10 years in retail.
In 2014 Gina returned to her first love, painting.
With a great eye for style and colour, her work is a reflection of her experiences. Contemporary and colourful, her work captures everyday elements, events and people.
