About Me

My photo
Ginger
My name is Ginger Wilson, and I am a self-proclaimed "art experimentalist". My art can range from gelli printing, to painting, to art quilts. I find so many techniques and materials interesting that I am drawn to try them all. One day I may be creating wet felted landscapes, the next I could be making an art quilt from synthetic materials to burn with my heat gun. My studio is as cluttered with supplies as my mind is with ideas, but I wouldn't have it any other way.
