Sculpting bronzes for over 30 years, Gina's works have been collected worldwide. With over 70 editions sold out she continues to do what she loves best.

Originally from the USA, then raised on the Bar C Ranch north of the Morley Indian Reserve in the foothills country of Alberta . . . it is here that Gina learned to love and cherish the ranch theme, also the wild game that were in the area. She always had a scrap of paper and pencil in her pocket where unusual and interesting things were quickly recorded, from the newborn calves and colts, to a new leader of wild bands of horses which roamed freely in those foothills. Gina worked with the livestock most of her life and this firsthand experience has been her teacher.

In later years, while raising her family of three, she still led the ranch life . . . from household duties to raking in the hayfields with teams of horses and handling and training colts.

Her start in bronze sculpture was encouraged by the late Doug Stevens for whom she has the highest regard. "Without the few months of his kind encouragement and help, I may never have had a start, he believed in my work and I'll never let him down by not doing my very best" says Gina.

C.N. Woodward purchased the very first bronze sculpture made by Gina in 1970. It was a cutting horse in action called "Showdown". Gina's bronze sculptures are now worldwide. Three are with British Royalty ("RCMP Musical Ride", "Future Champion" and "Five Alive" - a commission of, and an edition of 88 for the 1988 Winter Olympics). To the Crown Prince of Jordan went "Gentle Persuasion" and Western singer Randy Travis owns "Heroes Of Our Heritage" and "The Broken Strand". Over the years the Calgary Exhibition and Stampede have used sculptures by Gina, the most recent being "No Brand", "What About Me?" and "High Hopes".
