About Ginny Parsons 
Ginny has a B.A. in graphic design at California State University, Chico and also attended San Francisco School of Art and San Francisco State University.  Her inspirations in art include Richard Diebenkorn, Henri Matisse, Claude Monet and Andy Goldsworthy.  She teaches art to children, who also inspire her daily.  But Ginny’s primary inspiration is her connection to nature and its elements where she finds continual motivation and subject matter.
 
Ginny is interested in dripping, pouring, splashing and moving paint. She works intuitively, using a variety of common household ingredients like beeswax, borax, castoff house paint and also natural materials.  She uses whatever surfaces come her way – left by the dumpster, dropped on her porch by the neighbors or washed up from the estuary. Her imagery comes from nature, which is where she feels connection and inspiration.

Gallery at the Werkshack is an alternative gallery featuring talented emerging artists from Oakland and beyond. Their solo exhibitions showcase guest artists and the Werkshack building has 8 artist and designer studios on view. They are located among many art venues in Uptown Oakland on 25th Street.

ABOUT  GRAY  LOFT  GALLERY
 
Gray Loft Gallery - voted "Best Art Gallery"  two years in a row - 2016  & 2017 - in the Oakland Magazine Readers' Choice Award - has promoted the rich art culture of Jingletown and the greater Bay Area for 7 years. The gallery has been referred to as a hidden gem in Jingletown, and noted by Kenneth Baker, former SF Chronicle Art Critic, in his Visual Arts Don’t Miss Column as “…A space gaining prominence in the Bay Area…”   The mission of the gallery is to provide exhibition opportunities for artists in a setting that is an alternative to the traditional gallery model. We hope to inspire, engage and celebrate artists in our community and beyond.  We acknowledge the achievements of emerging, mid-career and established artists – with an emphasis on those who live and work in the Bay Area – in a non-traditional art space. A number of artists began their art career at Gray Loft Gallery.
 
“I have always enjoyed this gallery, superb atmosphere and lighting. The polished and worn hardwood floors creek slightly in places as you climb to the third floor, providing a granular and unique, organic aesthetic. This is a do-not-miss venue in the East Bay.”  –  Facebook Review
