My husband was an American diplomat in Tokyo when we lived there 3 years.  On the 3rd year he has gotten mysteriously sick and so was our 5 year old daughter.  I was heart-broken as I looked after the two love of my life.  I had a small atelier connected to the kitchen.  I had a huge white paint that oozed out accidently and I took a dollop of it onto the canvas and smeared it and somehow the white shirt came into being. Without any scatch, I started creating the face after buidling her chest area/neck.  Shitsuren in Japanese means "jilted" or being heart broken.  That was how I felt at the time and the painting came alive from that saddness and worries for my loved ones.

Gina Son is a Korean-American Cafe-Scene Painter based in Honolulu. A global nomad, she has lived, worked and experienced observing people and sampling the ambiance in cafes in Paris, Rome, London, Tokyo, Seoul and Santorini. Gina has always been artistically inclined since her childhood, winning awards in her early formative years (e.g. the National Artistic Gold Key award in high school). She has taken art throughout her education. Being romantic at heart, she is deeply influenced by the 19th C. Impressionism masters such as Renoir and Degas, Monet and their depictions of femeninity. As a perpetual dreamer, she endeavors to paint the beauty of human connections, shared affinity, positive and in hopeful messages of love and a life-well-lived in her paintings.
