Ginny Versteegen

Ginny Versteegen is well known as a Contemporary Impressionist.  Her paintings have been recently described by Charleston’s Post and Courier newspaper as “pushing the boundaries of color and light”.  Working in plein air, Versteegen takes inspiration from nature, bringing to her work, according the Courier, “ the kind of emphatic movement and soft focus that nature offers on dim fall days and bright spring mornings.” The award winning oil paintings of Ginny Versteegen can be found in many private and public collections across the United States and abroad.   Versteegen is an exhibiting member of the Oil Painters of America, The American Impressionist Society and the Charleston Artist Guild.  Versteegen has taught art at a number schools across the US sharing her love of art and art history. Now settled in Charleston, Ginny Versteegen largely paints in oil but has recently begun experimenting with mixed media.   She finds freedom in the use of cold wax mixed with oil  paints.  The effect is a more atmospheric look that translates well into her landscapes and seascapes, giving them an ethereal air.   Her style displays a sense of place, whether the painting has an intriguing international subject matter or evokes the charm of Low Country life in South Carolina.
