Gina sees life through a child’s eyes and the lens of a polaroid.

 

So, it was only a matter of time before her passions for art, nature and raising children collided to produce her first book, A Tree Could Be followed by her second book, Color Me Blue.

 

Something is always growing in Gina’s world. Plants in 

her sprawling garden. Her son. Her own design business, 

Nine18 Creative. In the rare moments she gets to herself, 

you’ll find her barefoot probably trying to grow some 

exotic plant from a seed. Also, not running.

 

An artist to the core, she earned a degree in Fine Art – Graphic Design from Western Michigan University, then spent six years in corporate communications at Kellogg Company. She and her husband share their log home in Michigan with their son, two daughters and cat.
