Ginny Blevins,
Artist
I suppose at heart, I am a storyteller...
I grew up involved in theater, art, and ballet...
“painting” with my body and “painting” with others to form
a story.... A story of beauty, or sadness, or triumph, or
defeat. Whatever the story, it seems it has to be told. The
beauty of a child in a full laugh. The beauty of a young
body builder at the height of his strength. The beauty of
the light falling through the trees or the overcast
splendor of a rainy day. I was born to tell the story.
God has granted me a unique insight and a grand
talent... spread over so many different areas. With a
degree in Technical Theater, Art & Dance... I found
myself always drawn to the creative side of life.
Retouching photography, floral design, makeup artistry,
muralist, retail display work to designing store interiors
and then constructing them. If the job didn’t call for
creativity, it soon became a position that required it.
What fun life has been!
I’ve been doing art work for as long as I can remember.
In grade school, I spent most of my time on the book report
cover rather than the report itself. I filled my childhood
with paints and inks and pencils and charcoal; weavings and
pastels and collages and fabrics. Six years ago I added
sculpting to the list. When asked what medium I like best,
I reply, “the one I’m working on right now.”
So many stories to tell... so little time.
