Ginny Retmock
Printmaker / Textile Artist (Lord Howe Island)

Ginny was born in New Zealand and settled on Lord Howe Island in 1976. Upon discovering the pleasure of art 13 years ago, she has produced numerous works in a range of medium and hasn't looked back.

She trained initially with a local artist on Lord Howe Island, exploring all mediums and eventually choosing fabric painting as her preferred art. Her beautiful island home is a constant and ever-changing source of inspiration, and the vibrant colours of the ocean and fish, textures and shapes of the plant life never cease to amaze.

After attending Affordable Art in Sydney in 2003, Ginny became intrigued with printmaking. She whet her appetite at the Warringah Printmakers Studio in Sydney and now can not get enough, creating prints that incorporate natural fibres from her Island home.

"Most enjoyable is the collage stage, I find it very satisfying recycling all sorts of bits and pieces as well as utilizing the islands natural fibers. I presently exhibit and sell at the Lord Howe Island Museum, Palmsugar Gallery and in Sydney at Watson Bay."
