Gina Kaiper
Oils

Gina Kaiper is a painter and photographer in the San Francisco Bay Area. She paints primarily in oil, with museums as a major subject. She focuses on connecting contemporary experience with the rich tradition of art through the centuries.

Gina exhibits her work widely throughout the San Francisco East Bay, and she has won awards for both paintings and photographs. She is a member of the Las Positas College Art Club, the Livermore Art Association, the Pleasanton Art League, and the Achenbach Graphic Arts Council at the Legion of Honor Museum in San Francisco.

Gina has studied painting, drawing, and art history at Las Positas College in Livermore, CA.

Gina says, "My paintings connect contemporary experience with the rich tradition of art through the centuries. I depict people looking at — or perhaps ignoring — works of art in a museum context. Some of the people encountered in museums are providing security or maintenance. Some are carved of marble, cast in bronze, or painted on canvas. For many years I have photographed in U.S. and European museums, and these photos serve as a point of departure for my paintings. As part of the process, I try to develop a deeper understanding of each artist whose work is depicted, and I also imagine stories about the modern people who appear in my art."
