ALL ABOUT GIN JAGER

My name is Gin. I am an artist from Birmingham, Alabama and a graduate on the rolling plains of Dixie at Auburn University. I majored in Apparel Design and Production Management and minored in Studio Art and Business. Since my time at Auburn, I have developed extensive work experience in production development and event coordination. Through my position as Design and Production Director at Summer Show-Offs, a performance camp with the mission to build confidence and character through song and dance, I have unified both my creative and organizational abilities. At SSO, I realized my passion for logistics and systems management. I have applied those skills also working in weddings and event management for both private and corporate events. Aside from work, I am always up to something. From dog sitting to home renovation DIYs, I keep busy. In 2023, I purchased my first home, The Dollhouse Cottage, and I have put in the work to make it my own.

 

As a creator, I have crafted my unique design philosophy. All people are born with beauty and purpose. What we wear and create matters, not because of outward appearance, because of how it reflects who we are and whom we are becoming. Self-expression through art of any medium, whether it be through a watercolor, a ball gown, or even a pie, invites others to know and appreciate an individual and creates a bond of relationship.

​

My personal aesthetic is quite a hodgepodge of different styles that harmoniously all work together under a theme of classic beauty and peace. I glean inspiration from the beauty of light-- airy and delicate. I hope to reflect gracefulness and freedom in my work, which is often pastoral-- clouds and peonies, wind-blown fields, misty spring rains, and warm breezes. Nature has given me a love for watercolor, and I enjoy using shimmer and texture to depict movement. I love the idea of a billowing force that is soft, yet uncontrollable, but also refined and structured styles appeal to me. Although I am drawn to soft, light colors, any shade of gray is my favorite. I appreciate its balance, timelessness, and sophistication.

 

When I am not designing, painting, or creating, you can find me on a walk with my golden retriever, Lottie Pickle.
