Ginger Geyer: Ordinary Objects in Ordinary Time - Softcover

Austin artist Ginger Geyer grew up in Arkansas, earned BFA and MFA degrees from SMU, and worked for 13 years at the Kimbell Art Museum and Dallas Museum of Art in conservation, collection management, and facilityplanning. Ginger received a Masters of Arts in Pastoral Ministry from the Episcopal Theological Seminary of the Southwest. She has been Adjunct Professor there and at Concordia University. Since 1999 she has served as arts consultant, gallery curator, and workshop leader for Laity Lodge, a retreat center supported by the H.E. Butt Foundation in the Texas Hill Country. Handbuilt, glazed porcelain has been her primary medium since 1990, creating detailed pieces that evoke a blend of her experiences as a playful church-fed child, a curious museum professional, a mother of two, and an avid reader of theology and art. She enjoys collecting books, vernacular language, and vintage objects that inform her storytelling. See www.gingergeyer.com for an ever-expanding body of work that pokes at sacred cows and political pork, while also claiming the “nevertheless factor”-- that we are astonishingly blessed. Valley House Gallery, Dallas, represents Ginger’s work.
