Gina Alpous

Artist member since 2024
Toronto, Ontario

Gina Alpous is an artist with work recently exhibited at Studio M. Gallery, Etobicoke Civic Centre, Neilson Park Creative Centre and Assembly Hall. A Toronto based artist, she works predominantly in acrylic, but continues to explore watercolour, graphite pencil and oil.

Awed by the beauty and variety Mother Nature offers and subsequently deeply concerned with the wellness and future of our planet. In 2024, Gina was honoured to achieve elected membership status into the Colour and Form Society, one of Canadaโ€™s longest standing and prestigious art societies in Ontario.

Her portfolio predominantly explores an array of wildlife and landscapes revealing extensive care and attention to colour, form and texture. Gina's art depicts detail and lighting, but also pulls viewers into dramatic moments in time.

Gina works alongside her husband Jim in their shared home art studio and reflects that the process of creating art has provided a new source of joy and learning and has ultimately grown her appreciation of nature and life.


Work


Q+A

Favourite medium

Acrylic. It's forgiving and dries quickly which seems to suit me best at the present time.

When did you start making art, and why?

I began in 2017 shortly after retiring and discovered art not only brought me joy, but it gave me an outlet for my creativity, offered new learnings, new experiences and new relationships with other artists and art lovers.
