Gina Femrite was born in West Germany. She started her art training at an early age under her father J.
Strater, a contemporary European Impressionist.
She also attended the College
of Art and Skills in Saarbruecken West Germany
to further her studies into the range of
illustration and designer art.
Armed with the knowledge of both
fine art and design, Gina began working fulltime in her father’s
studio where she developed a style rooted in French impressionism
but identifiable as her own.
Her talent was quickly
recognized by art galleries and art agencies throughout
Europe. She landed a fulltime contract with Harry’s Galleries and the
Paul Schwarz agency. This successful relationship lasted until Gina
moved to the
United States
with her husband David Femrite, a member of the American armed
forces.
In
America, Gina was challenged with learning a new language and new customs.
She returned to college in Eugene Oregon, where she studied digital
art and multi media.
For the last seventeen years
Gina has led a successful carrier in commercial and illustrative
art. Her work is been published by Western Graphics, Impact Images,
Posters by Impact on Line and Life’s Foot Print book publishers.
In 2007 Gina decided to put
aside that career to pursue fine art again and to share her talent
with the American and international public.
Gina’s paintings reflect her
extensive travel throughout
Europe. She creates art that explode with rich color and texture with
chromatic complexity and saturated with light.
Gina
is thankful for her talent and she sincerely hopes that her art is
enjoyable and a positive influence to the viewer.
