Gina finds real excitement in batik with the magic of color. Batik, the Traditional process is the separating of color with wax to resist the over dye of the next color. When a new color is introduced to a piece of silk, the entire feel of the design changes. Some of the works change eight to twelve times before the work is deemed complete. Gina does a lot of custom work for interior decorators and specialty shops. The thrill for her is in seeing the finished work mounted and hanging in lobbies of condo complexes, offices, and restaurants.
