About — Gina Compagno

I am a colorist, impressionist oil painter from Northern California. My primary medium is oil paint, which I began studying at age 15 under Dorallen Davis at the Marin Art School. Across all mediums, I express the interplay of light and shadow through the juxtaposition of warm and cool colors. Time in nature is a continual source of inspiration for me and nature is a central theme throughout my work.

I’ve been drawing and painting since I was little and somehow it still leads me back to the same place within myself. I’ve found that the more I turn inward, the more clarity and creativity come through. I work with wellness modalities like breathwork and yoga to create space for calm and creativity to naturally emerge.
