Right before
Ginger's third adventure of living back in NYC, she revisited her alma mater James River High School in Midlothian, VA to
catch up with her favorite english teacher. During her senior year she was required to donate a work of art to the school
before graduation, so in 2000 Ginger collaborated with her favorite teacher to paint a "Romeo & Juliet" mural on her classroom
wall.
It's amazing what can be learned and developed over twelve years! During this most
recent visit Ginger couldn't stand how unfinished the likeness of Romeo and Juliet seemed, so before the move she gave the
mural a facelift! Originally, Ginger didn't fully understand color theory nor did she have the patience or follow-through
to learn how to paint realistically.
This mural was inspired by Lawrence Olivier's 1968 film version of "Romeo
& Juliet".

August 2011:
Ginger
happily delivered this portrait
commission to a mother whose daughter died over 20 years ago in a car accident at age three. The mother's wish is for
everyone to know that her daughter is in Heaven and despite it all, she still loves Jesus! The mother envisioned sweet Jackee
in the clouds with angels, but since it is hard to know specifically what angels look like, Ginger chose to keep
Jackee in a type of floating cloud-like atmosphere...

2010:
"Time Capsule: BC-AD" show a great success!
After cleaning out the art space
because of the fire (which miraculously did not mess up any of Ginger's artwork!), she finally had a chance to look
at everything and count how many pieces sold:TWENTY! Never before has Ginger sold that much at once at an art show!
20
is the number of redemption (noun 1.an act of redeeming or the state of being redeemed.2.deliverance; rescue.3.Theology.deliverance from sin; salvation.4.atonement for guilt.5.repurchase,as of something sold.6.paying off,as
of a mortgage,bond,or note.7.recovery by payment, as of something pledged.8.conversion of paper money into specie.) .
Too cool.
God is good all the time.

Press Release: "Time
Capsule: BC-AD" Unveiling!
All of the old becomes
new
While only encapsulated
for a year and a half, it feels like forever since anyone has seen Ginger Pennington's artwork in person! Sealed away in storage
for a time capsule, Ginger put away the past ten years of paintings, drawings, limited edition prints, and objets d'art so
she could clearly focus her energies on her new path.
Ginger invites you to
step inside her "Time Capsule: BC-AD", a show hosted by Patricia Guillouard Adams at Carytown Teas in Richmond, VA. A
blast from a not-so-distant past, the show reflects how much can change in life at a moment's notice, ultimately serving
as a reminder of the promise that out of the darkness we can find light and life through Jesus Christ! The time
capsule images "BC" ( Before Christ, or life of self) directly illustrates life without hope versus life after hope "AD"
(Anno Domini, or death to self). An amazing contrast reflected visually, the six pieces from "AD" include oil
paintings in both realism and photo-realism genres and highlight a stark difference in both perspective and theme. The
30+ pieces included in the "BC" category show the futile moments of raw emotions going deep and dark while always hopelessly
trying to mask that with an ironic mix of playfulness.
Shortly before Ginger decided to leave NYC, an unfortunate disaster in her apartment occurred,
causing her to lose nearly all of her possessions and thousands of dollars in art supplies. Thankfully, all of her artwork
remains in tact so she is thrilled for the opportunity to gather it from storage and open it up to sell again. She will
use the proceeds from the silent auction to buy more art supplies and tools so that she can continue to create her next body
of work.
