A great American Artist and national treasure, Ginger Osgood passed on in August of 2000. Nature & City Scapes were the inspiration for her work - the seen and the unseen. She arrived at her "emotional" art by means of symbolic studies of nature, which evolved into being wholly abstract. Her metaphors became a kaleidoscopic radiation of color from a central source. These colors are healing and at the same time inspiring. "I wish to engage and be one with that force within or that great artist in the sky who designs with love, the largest universes to the smallest." Her "Atmospheric mindscapes" brilliantly reflect her love of nature. Osgood served as President & Exhibition Director of the Western Serigraph Institute, and was commissioned to create numerous public sculptures in the Southern California area. Her joie de vivre, her creativity and an extraordinary capacity to heal lives on through her art.
