Gina’s work explores the strangeness of the natural world through surreal depictions of animals. She uses symbolism and unusual assemblages to challenge familiar narratives and our relationship with animals. Her practice reflects a deep fascination with wildlife and a growing awareness of the risks of misrepresentation in animal imagery. By embracing surrealism and visual oddity, she invites viewers to reconsider their perceptions of non-human life and the stories we attach to them.

Gina has spent her time in residence with N Contemporary Art exploring the possibilities of oil paint, after years working exclusively with acrylic. This period has also served as a space for introspection, allowing her time to examine and push the boundaries of her visual language. After studying Illustration at the University of Northampton, she has produced a series of sketches which lean into the surreal imagery which underpins her work, freeing up her process ahead of studying Fine Art: Painting at Camberwell College of Arts later this month.
