Gina Papen

I am a dedicated, practicing artist, involved in the creative process for a very long time. My works have evolved over the years, benefiting a variety of professional art teachers, including CCA Foundation year, and as an Illustration major Parsons School of Design (BFA). I grew up in San Francisco, and after 28 years on the East Coast, I returned to the East Bay in 2000. My styles have included realism, then evolving to abstraction. My media include pen & ink, watercolor, acrylic, oil and mixed media collage. I'm a member of ACCI Coop Gallery, and share studio space at the Sawtooth since 2011.
