Hi! My name is Gina and I’m an artist born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio. I have been making art at some capacity for as long as these hands have functioned. I dabble in many mediums, but my true love is printmaking. My work has a common focus of kindness, positivity, wholeness, and adventure. The work you see is handmade in the second bedroom of my apartment, all done by yours truly after work or on the weekend. I’m an art school graduate, but I am forever learning and exploring new techniques and forms of expression. This is done through many cups of coffee, an open mind, and a drive to connect people and places to which I find endless inspiration.
Ridge + Roots is first and foremost a passion project that has grown and developed for the last five years. While I love my day job, my first love was creating. It is ingrained in how I define myself, my worldview, and serves as my personal form of self-care. My art reflects my beliefs of being a good human, seeking out opportunities for kindness and positivity, while also satisfying my sense of adventure. The name “Ridge + Roots” comes from this concept — “ridge” representing adventure and the heights we climb, while “roots” depicts the grounding and growth within ourselves, with the “+” being the intersection of the two. I truly believe we should leave this world better than we found it, and Ridge + Roots is my way of spreading compassion and inspiring adventure, whether that be on a long, winding trail or deep within ourselves.
