About the Instructors: Ginny Piech Street "I love collage because it is rich in process and full of the unpredictable." - Ginny grew up in Indiana and earned a BFA at Murray State University in Kentucky. From there she lived in the South Carolina Low Country and tropical, festive Key West. Each of these places has influenced my art perspective. This is what I believe about art. There are no mistakes. There are no rules. And the process of creating art is most important. Color is also important, but black and white is dramatic. This perspective is reflected in my whimsical, imaginative collages and sculptures. My reoccurring characters, often with funny and quirky titles, allow your thought to create their own story. Sometimes surprising, always colorful, my artwork promises to delight
