She has a strong philosophy that learning never stops. She continues to attend many workshops at Sitka. She finds art in every form, enjoyable…and is once again showing her work to the public after semi retiring from having her work in other art galleries. Ginger was born in Corvallis and now resides in Lincoln City. She has lived from one coast to the other as well as in Hawaii. Her hobbies include painting, sculpting, writing and people studies. She finds peace and joy in her art. She has enjoyed traveling and says Thailand was her favorite vacation place with its beauty in their temples and everywhere she looks. She has traveled a great deal helping as a psychic in working on homicides, burglaries, and missing persons cases.
