BIO
Ginny Piech Street
I grew up in Indiana and earned a BFA in studio art with an emphasis in printmaking at Murray State University in Kentucky. From there I 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 what really matters. Color is important; black and white are dramatic. I enjoy collage, or anything with pieces and parts, because of the ability to move and play with the parts until I'm pleased with the arrangement. While paper has been my go to medium, I've enjoyed breaking away to explore other materials. Currently this is clay. I also enjoy collaboration as it nurtures a strong creative environment and builds lasting alliances in the art community.
Among my accomplishments are three large scale public art installations in Fort Pierce and St. Lucie County, Florida. I have exhibited in Chelsea, NYC, Le Moyne Art Foundation in Tallahassee, Florida, and have won first place in sculpture at Bradenton’s Village Of The Arts Holiday Show. While living in Beaufort, SC, I won Outstanding Local Artist. In college I won the President’s Award, the highest honor bestowed upon an art student at Murray State University. I co-founded Art Mundo, A Center For Creative Expression in Fort Pierce, FL, was a co-founder/co-owner of Peacock Clay Collaborative, a working clay studio in the heart of downtown Fort Pierce, Florida and co-founder and former manager of Indian River Clay, a non-profit studio in Vero Beach, Florida. My works can be seen for sale by appointment in my studio. Contact me for an appointment.
