Gina Noelle Ash describes herself as a metaphorical realist. She uses oils, acrylics and watercolors to create highly detailed works with intriguing titles like “Thorn Tree in the Garden.”
“Every birthday and Christmas as a child, I asked for brushes, paints, crayons [and] pencils,” she recalls. “I grew up in rural northeast Colorado, where my sister and I lived with my grandparents in an old house haunted by mysterious presences that–along with the landscape of cornfields and railroad tracks–provided lots of fuel for my imagination.” Gina loves animals and the natural world. Two watercolors, “The Window” and “Last Light,” pay tribute to the vibrant skies of her youth.
