Gina Morewood

A little about Gina:

My favorite words are “Let’s take a Hike”.

I immediately (in my mind at least) am outside in all kinds of weather, in all seasons and many different places. 

Soft shadows, smells both fragrant and pungent, sounds of water, gentle or fierce, and the feel of winds in tempest and in calm. How could one not be inspired to paint? 

This love of exploring started at the end of a forty year career in medicine. I was invited to go on a month-long backpacking hike through Spain on the ancient Pilgrimage route, the Camino De Santiago. This turned out to be a life-changing experience. The pilgrimage was such an inspiration: memories of people, ancient places, history, and songs and beauty of nature are still so vivid.

Recurring themes in my work are: 

 Life as a Journey, and Love of Nature. 

My favorite form of painting is "en Plein Air”, but that isn’t always possible in our Climate.

In spirit, I belong to the "Practice makes Better" School of painting and I have found a home with the Waterside Art Group.  With them “nothing is impossible” and everything is fun.
