GINA LOUTHIAN ARTIST BIO
Gina Louthian-Stanley is a multi-media artist, writer, and workshop instructor living in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia. Discovering printmaking, Louthian-Stanley created her thesis works in monotype and has primarily been a monotype printmaker since the late 70'S. While many areas of art and types of media interest Gina, she began her ‘wax’ journey in 2006. She masters the versatility, permanence, and textures of wax, both hot (encaustic), and cold wax (medium), which allows for the deep layers found in her work. She also utilizes these mediums for printmaking, a build-up of layers creating luminous color and textures enhance her ethereal works. Each work usually begins without a preconceived image. Stanley's works represent the physical and emotional sensations, which carry the viewer into an intimate visual narrative, typically relating to the nature around her.
