Our program in March will be a presentation by member Ginny Merett.
Known for her eccentric collage works, Ginny has been an artist and art educator in the Columbia community for over three decades. Through the years she used various media to create art but for the last decade has chosen to represent everyday events and people using collage techniques and processes.
Ginny’s work has won several awards and accolades. She was the cover and featured artist in The Jasper Magazine, Spring 2019 edition; and received First Place and Second Place Awards at the Rosewood Art and Music Festival, Best in Show at Time for Art sponsored by the Jasper Project. You can find her work exhibited at ArtFields, Koger Center for the Arts, Stormwater Studio, and other local venues.
Ginny was born and raised in Denver and has lived in South Carolina since 1987. Art has sustained Ginny throughout her life and is the cause for her every success. She constantly sewed, created, and treasured drawing as a child and sought out every art opportunity in school. Because art was such a passion of Ginny’s youth, she studied art education and taught art in the public schools for 30 years. Check out her web site: https://www.ginnymerett.com.
