Ginger Whellock
Ginger Whellock, a Chicago North Shore native and mid-western college fine art major, moved to a remote cattle ranch in Montana in the early 70's. There she fell in love with the dramatic western landscape you still see in her paintings today. Although her painting locations have grown to represent an extensive variety of worldwide locations, her common theme remains this beautiful earth. Ginger's paintings are always tranquil and serene. Through the use of color, light, atmosphere and depth, she shares with you her personal feelings about the scene. You are gently pulled into the painting; stimulated by your own personal memories and your forgotten longings.
Though Ginger always thought of herself as an artist, her career choices focused on teaching and then business. In 1990, with the opportunity to retire available, she jumped at the prospect of working as a full-time artist. Ginger has worked in oil, watercolor, graphite and pen and ink. Today she chooses pastel as her medium of choice because, "it is always wet and always dry, responds to many styles and is a marvelous spontaneous medium."
This mostly self-taught artist has caught the attention of art magazine editors including Southwest Art, Wildlife Art and International Artist magazines. She has been invited to participate in numerous national shows and has been juried into the "Arts for the Parks Top 200 - 2004" and "Mini 100 - 2006" and two paintings in "PaintAmerica Top 100 - 2006". She has earned many awards at national shows, is a juried member of American Women Artists, Pastel Society of America and a Signature Member of Pastel Society of Colorado. Ginger's paintings hang in private and corporate collections worldwide. She is represented by Canyon Road Fine Art of Santa Fe, NM.
