Ghislaine Gargaro
“The painting process and the finished painting are both a celebration of life. Painting gives the artist the most transforming pleasures. When painting, one feels the ever present beauty of this world.
I am inspired to continue in the path that I have chosen. With joy I am making my way.”
Ghislaine Gargaro graduated from Laval University in Quebec City and after a successful career as a nurse and as a nursing manager in the South Bay, art became her main focus. She studied design and drawing at Santa Monica City College and she also studied painting at LAHC. She has done work with the Plein Air Painters of America and for the last five years has been mentored by Master Artist Jove Wang.
Ghislaine paints in all genres. Her oil paintings are scenes from her travels and show her love of drawing in different locations worldwide.

She received many first prize awards from the Artist Open Group in Palos Verdes. She also received second place for her painting “Team Work” in the show “Spirit of the Horse” at the Zaske Gallery.
