About the Artist

Gina Payne is a contemporary figurative painter based in Henderson, Nevada. Working primarily in oil, she creates portraits through close observation and an intuitive painting process. Her paintings strive to capture both the individuality of the person and the expressive qualities of paint, allowing brushwork, color, and surface to communicate as much as likeness itself.

Her current body of work began through regular visits to a senior living community and has since expanded to include family, friends, and other people connected by a shared sense of observation and quiet humanity.

Payne's paintings have been exhibited in regional juried exhibitions and are held in private collections. She welcomes inquiries from collectors, galleries, and interior designers seeking original contemporary figurative artwork.
