Mappa Mundi meum, from the series "The intelligence of feeling", was painted in 2016, whilst the Artist explored her inner sense of place and space, and whilst realising that her work displayed echos of the Chinese landscapes of the Song and Yuan dynasty which become symbolic shorthand and emblems of the Artist's character and spirit. This painting series, whilst drawing on scape, is primarily defined by emotion and feeling. The Artist continues to explore the balance of spontaneity and controlled intention during the painting process, whilst remembering and considering absence, time, distance, vulnerability, loss and the notion of sometimes feeling lost..... the human condition. Parr uses pallet knife, brush and sponge building up layers of paint and charcoal and washing away in a process that becomes as important to remove as to add, a reverberation of relationship with the canvas of addition and subtraction, push and pull. The Artist intends to create something that is ambiguous, chimerical, organic and elemental. Signed and dated on the side of the canvas the painting is ready to hang. The canvas is deep edged 4cm which shows small signs of the working process to the canvas.

Gina Parr is a is a bestselling painter and photographer who 'paints' with her camera when traveling. The Artist says, "Scape, memory and identity are ever present in my work. My childhood, spent diversely in wide-open spaces with my father fishing for mackerel and at home with my mother's hoarding and mental health issues, defined my relationship to the land and sea: both the spirit and memory of wide open space and the dark uncertainty of the deep. My work is an expression of the intermingling of joy and pain, love and loss: the human condition and tracks the line between abstraction and figuration. I seek to find an emotional balance within my work, which I hope will speak to the viewer’s inner self.” Originally receiving a First Class BA Honours Degree in Fine Art, she went on to Chelsea College of Art to study set design, leading to a 25 year career Production Designing many notable shows for BBC and ITV Television, returning to her full time Art practice in 2007. She has lectured at Chelsea College of Art and Nottingham University and has widely exhibited in galleries and art fairs in the UK and Europe. Parr has works in numerous Worldwide collections including; Keble College Oxford, President Boston's Children's Museum USA, Director Jestico + Whiles Architects, Goldman Sachs and Vedanta London, has completed commissions in UAE, Belgium, London, USA, and Glen Scotia Whisky for a special release in 2025. She was selected for the RA Summer Show 2024, the RWA Photography Open and the ING Discerning Eye 2023.
