Ginny Merett is an artist and art educator who has been active in the Columbia art scene during the past three decades. Her signature style is graphic, bold collages that appear quirky and lighthearted at first glance however the work resonates on a deeper, psychological level regarding culture, gender and racial identity, and societal expectations. She is currently The Jasper Project's Artist-in-Residence, and her compelling work can be viewed at Sound Bites, located at 1425 Sumter St Columbia, SC 29201 in downtown historic Columbia. Her work will continue to be on view through the end of July, 2022.
From The Jasper Project’s Statement: "Ginny’s collage pieces have been shown at Stormwater Studio, ArtFields, Koger Center for the Arts, the Jasper Project, USC School of Visual Art and Design’s McMaster Gallery, SC State Library, and other local venues like Trustus Theater, She Festival, Cottontown Art Crawl and Melrose Art in the Yard. Her work is published in the Jasper Project’s Jasper Magazine, Spring 2019 edition and in Sheltered: SC Artists Respond During the 2020 Pandemic and in Bullets and Band-Aids Volume 3. She gives back to the community by visiting and sharing her work with various area schools and donating art to local charities."
