Warm welcome all.

Born and adopted in Victoria B.C. Canada, Pisces, it wasn't until age 40 when I reconnected with my birth father and **birth mother --finally discovering where my love of mixed media art and using found objects came from and my love for all things *different. *I've always leaned towards those who are goth/punk, crushes on various tv and movie characters you don't see on Earth, someone who talks to insects and calls out to ravens ( I am a ravenaholic ! Calling out some Viking ancestry ). What you might think is different is quite normal to me.
**My adoptive name is Tracy but for my art I feel my birth name is a better fit. Originally Virginia Grove, the majority of my creations will be signed Ginny G. ( a nod to my birth mom who loved the Ginny Gordon book series written by Trixie Belden author Julie Campbell Tatham ).

Architecture and design were always an attraction, devouring each month of Architectural Digest magazine since early high school 1982. But for some reason, rather than find a career in that field, I chose psychology and began a year of college courses in the late 1980s...only to end up changing over to the visual arts program. Although following certain ' art rules ' was difficult, I did learn to appreciate the thought processes of my class mates & historical artists, along with noticing how much I came alive when creating mixed media.
Apart from that, I am self-taught - using my intuition, learning as I go along.

The majority of my pieces use ' found objects ', items found at garage sales or thrift stores, some while out for walks on the beach, in old farmstead dumps, side of the road. And yes, all found objects are given a good cleaning ! I have drawers of vintage papers, broken jewellery, and other bric a brac to enhance my imagination.

In 2018 I began playing with resin and soldering. My art is a mish mash of wonderful merriment, romantic, goth, horror and whimsical. You never quite know what you'll see next.

Thank-you for taking time to read this far. Creating is in my blood, an artist with a taste for the eclectic.
I hope you find a special treasure.
