Painting & Illustration

Hi there! I’m Gina Marie Rivera—artist, writer, and lifelong dreamer. I create bold, vibrant paintings and illustrations of colorful plants and animals, bringing a sense of energy and joy to each piece. My pen and ink illustrations, on the other hand, are filled with intricate textures, fantasy, and whimsy, drawing inspiration from the magic of storytelling.

Based in Atlanta, GA, I spend my days painting, writing, and chasing after my three amazing kids and two energetic dogs (with my wonderful husband by my side). Nature, color, and book illustrations are my biggest sources of inspiration—I love the way art can transport us to new worlds or help us see the beauty in our own.

When I’m not creating, you can find me exploring the works of other artists, both past and present. Art is about connection, and my passion lies in discovering and celebrating creativity in all its forms.

Thanks for stopping by—I hope my work brings a little joy and wonder into your world!
