Ginny has
always loved all “the arts” and has a Bachelor of Arts degree in Music. She loves music but her “passion is painting.” “I always have wonderful music playing in my studio,” and she feels like the two disciplines are closely intertwined. For her, much of what applied to her musical training also applies to art.
She moved to Hailey, Idaho in 1981 and loves living in the high desert mountains with her husband of more than twenty years, Michael Breen, and their teenage son, Ryan.
In the 1980’s Ginny began her art journey studying pottery at the Sun Valley Center for the Arts -Pottery Center, and fine art classes at the College of Southern Idaho with Lee Withers, John Blackman, and Mike Youngman. Ginny has attended many other classes and workshops with great teachers including: Norma Dennison, Richard Bird, Roy Mason, Carrie Stuart Parks, James Soares, Dwight Williams, Joyce Green, Kathleen Torgesen Murdock, Gloria Miller Allen, Maria Smith, and also with Claudette Bray of Springdale School of Art.
