Ginny Russell lives and works in Crieff, Perthshire. She graduated with a degree in Art History and Humanities from the Open University. Using driftwood, wood and found objects she creates striking, quirky and playful wall-hangings out of recycled materials.
To
collect the source material for these artworks she spends a fair amount
of time scouting around old ruins, beach-combing and pays frequent
visits to the dump! Ginny also works in other media including painting
and collage and has exhibited widely in local galleries.

SHINE EXHIBITIONS 2018
In 2016 , her grandson Neil was diagnosed with a malignant brain tumour at the age of 24. NEIL became involved with the charity SHINE which supports young adults with cancer. Connecting with SHINE made a huge difference to Neil’s life, so Ginny wanted to give something back and came up with the idea of selling her artworks in aid of SHINE.
