Ginny Togrye, a sculptural painter and sculptor with Creative Visions Artists, is best known for her innovative approach to sculptural painting. Her work spans sculpture, painting, portraits, and murals, but her signature style lies in the fusion of these mediums. Central to her artistic practice is the exploration of diverse materials, with a particular emphasis on repurposing. She reimagines the possibilities of canvas, paint, and found objects, incorporating elements like sliced paintings, joint compound, insulation, and dried palette paint into her creations.
Originally from Louisville, Kentucky, she completed her education at Middle Tennessee State University before working as a scientific illustrator at the University of Tennessee’s Department of Microbiology during the Human Genome Project. This period profoundly influenced her, sparking a curiosity about the intersection of science and creativity.
Ginny divides her time between studios in Nashville and Savannah. Her works are part of prestigious collections, including those of the City of Murfreesboro, the Discovery Center Museum, the Rutherford County Chamber of Commerce, and St. Thomas Ascension Hospital. Currently she has an exhibition at the Nashville International Airport titled, ”The Science of Creativity .”
