Ginny Burdick

Artist Bio Ginny Burdick lives and works in the foothills of the beautiful Sierra Mountains in Coarsegold, California. She is known for her strong use of color and imagery in pastels, oil and watercolor. Inspired by the beauty of the surrounding Sierra Mountains, she frequently captures memories of the many places where she has traveled. She often portrays her feeling for a particular locale in the strength of early morning or late afternoon light when shadows are strongest.

Painting for the artist is a graphic language through which she expresses herself. She says, I grow as an artist by taking risks, by attempting new expression in the language of paint and color. She advises beginning artists, never be afraid to make a bad painting. I’ve painted a lot of bad ones that have ended up in the trash bin, and I have not regretted one of those failures. I learn from each one, and often failure is more valuable than success.
