About

Ginevre grew up in Australia and has always had a love of the natural world. She started painting with oils and learning landscape photography when she was a teenager. Her love of plants led her to study botany and ecology at university, graduating with Honours. Now living in Alberta, she had a flourishing career in professional wedding and portrait photography before illness forced an early retirement. During this period she amassed a large collection of landscape and wildlife photos, some of which are available as prints.

Severe Myalgic Encephelomyelitis has left her mostly housebound, spending much of each day either in bed, or reclined in a chair. Painting traditionally is a challenge due to the limitations imposed by illness. She initially painted digitally in bed but now prefers to paint with traditional media despite the difficulties. She has newly discovered affinity for pastels, but will continue working with oil and acrylic paints as well.

Her other creative interests include vintage style fashion (1920s-1940s), sewing, quilting and millinery.
