Gina Femrite was born in West Germany. She started her art training at an early age under her father J. Strater, a contemporary European Impressionist.
She also attended the Saarbruecken Academy of art and skills to further her studies into the range of illustration and designer art.
Armed with the knowledge of both fine art and design, Gina began working full time in her father’s studio where she developed a style rooted in French impressionism but identifiable as her own.
Her talent was quickly recognized by art galleries and art agencies throughout Europe. She was offered a full time contract with Harrie’s Galleries and the Paul Schwarz agency. This successful relationship lasted until Gina moved to the United States with her husband David Femrite, a member of the American armed forces.
In America, Gina was challenged with learning a new language and new customs. She returned to college in Eugene Oregon, where she studied digital art and multimedia.
Thence that time Gina has established a large fallowing of both corporate and private collectors. She also launched a career in commercial and illustrative art. Her work has been published by Western Graphics, Impact Images, Posters by Impact on Line and Life’s Foot Print book publishers.
Her Artwork reflect her extensive travels and art studies in Europe. What sets her paintings apart is that they explode with rich color and texture, with chromatic complexity and that they are saturated with light.
Gina is thankful for her talent and she sincerely hopes that her art is enjoyable and a positive influence to the viewer.
