About Her Work
"One of my favorite things to do is create something beautiful out of found and rustic items. I began working with rustic stone tiles and I saw an opportunity to expand my work from coasters to using up-cycled wood for wood earrings when I began working with various types of exotic and recycled wood that inspired me. Adding a laser engraver to my workshop allowed me to combine graphic design with dimensional and functional art, making wood earrings. I’ve always loved the beauty and inconsistent textures of natural materials. From tumbled stone and cork to wood and metal, I felt bringing these mediums together to create a collection of wood earrings in a unique way with varied contrast and rich texture would create a truly unique style of earring. I seek to combine the unexpected to capture everyday experiences. "-Gina
About Her Process
Gina creates each pair of wood earrings in her home-based studio. All work is handmade by Gina herself. She prints, cuts, paints, stamps and assembles each item before finishing them with her signature rustic touches to balance out the beautiful metallic hues and sparkles.
