ABOUT
Gini Holmes is a traditionally trained print maker who loves combining traditional with experimental printing techniques. She has many works in private collections in the United States and Abroad.

She enjoys creating clothing and accessories from fabrics she finds in thrift stores, donations, or retail dead stock. She either directly upcycles the fabric into a new garment, or manipulates it through different textile techniques, including:
• Digital printing from a personal design
• Printing with found objects
• Botanical printing
• Breakdown surface printing
• Dyeing

No printing is ever the same, making each item unique.

She also loves a good “play on words.”
