| ABOUT GINNY FUTVOYE

Born and raised in a small Kentucky town, Ginny has been painting since she was young.  She received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Southern Methodist University in Dallas, TX.  While at SMU, professors taught Ginny new ways of seeing and had an enormous influence on her artistic development.  Ginny spent a summer painting in Taos, NM, and has studied the masters in Europe.

Ginny’s husband, a Jackson native, brought her to Mississippi. After teaching high school art for five years, she is now staying home with her four children.  The subject matter in her paintings reflect her diverse range of interests.  Oil painting is her form of self-expression.  She prefers the properties of oil paint because of the flexibility, color, and texture achieved with this medium.  The key elements of form, color, light, and content are integral parts of her artistic process.
