An interior designer by training and vocation, Ginny Herzog has taken her eye for detail and interest in architectural elements and abstracted it into one-of-a kind mixed media paintings using watercolor, crayons, graphite, pencils and photography. Originally exhibiting landscape paintings at her first art fairs starting in 1976 and sticking close to home the work soon blossomed into a career of distinctive art that says to the viewer "one-of-a-kind", exhibited at the country's finest art fairs from Texas to Connecticut. Balancing the traveling life with family meant that for several summers running one of her children would be her partner for the season. When one of her kids smashed her van into the garage wall before a big art fair she and friend artist Jody dePew McLeane squeezed all their work, displays and tents into Jody's minivan and enjoyed this style of travel so much they continued it for several years. As she travels she takes photos of the architecture of cities along her art fair route, later mining the images for her collages. At present she is working on a Denver series that she will be exhibiting at the Cherry Creek Art Festival there this summer, bringing a site specific body of work with roots in that region to her collectors. This month find Ginny will be returning to Reston, VA, for the Northern Virginia Festival of the Arts, May 16 and 17. Read more about Ginny and her work:
