She employs a poetic, layered aesthetic across all the genres of her practice, to invite a consideration of the transforming and healing potential of art, and to encourage access to one’s inner world.

Ginny taught at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and in many community based art programs, where she loved working with teenagers. She has created over 40 public art projects, including On the Wings of Water at O’Hare Airport.
