Props to Gin

No, not gin like the alcoholic beverage, gin like Ginny Bishton, by fabulous aunt and artist. I also have her to thank for me making this blog. She has been the one who got me really into Twisty, who finalized the idea of me making a blog of my own.
Ginny is the greatest aunt, and all around person, that I know. She is completely giving and caring. I always have her when I need her. I cannot begin to count the favors that she has done for me and my family.
Plus, she is a brilliant artist. Some of her work can be seen at the Richard Telles Gallery and it's all beautiful stuff. I know I would love it, even if she wasn't my aunt. Her work is so bright and fun, so simple and pure. It's just perfect.
I am really blessed to have a person like her in my life.
Here is some of her work:

This is some of her earlier work. This was done in 1997 when I was at the tender age of 5. It is of dozens of vegetables collaged together beautifully.

This is part of her walking collection and the piece is made up of, millions I'm sure, itty-bitty circles of fotos of plants and flowers that she took while walking.

This is my favorite piece from her latest soup collection. My aunt made dozens of different colored soups and then photographed them and put them into beautiful pieces like this one.
