Gina, originally from Bangkok, relocated to the United States in 2001, settling in San Jose, California, where she pursued a degree in Computer Science at a local college. She later transferred to Boise State University, gaining acceptance into the Radiologic Science program from which she graduated with a Bachelor’s degree. Her journey into the world of art began unexpectedly, sparked by the inspiring works of a friend; until then, Gina had never envisioned herself as an artist nor recognized her own potential. Upon picking up a paintbrush, she experienced a newfound sense of freedom, alleviating feelings of isolation and allowing her to express her life challenges and inner conflicts through her art.

In her professional life, Gina works as an MRI technologist at the Boise VA Medical Center. Recognizing the healing potential of art, she initiated an art class program at the Boise VA, volunteering her time to teach art to veterans. She advocates for art as a therapeutic tool that fosters healing and mental well-being. Currently, Gina continues to create art and lead classes.   Her contributions have garnered attention through exhibitions, media interviews, and publications.
