Inspired by the power of words, Ginger Huebner’s works are visual translations that manifest rich imagery, symbolism and metaphor through the mediums of chalk pastel, collage and encaustic wax. For Huebner, life is full of stories and each fragment of life is an opportunity to capture artistically what often transcends expression in mere words. Her work embodies people’s hearts, their dreams, their passions in life, and the moments and individuals that define and refine them. With a Bachelor of Architecture and a Masters in Teaching Visual Art, Ginger’s teaching experience spans a variety of disciplines. A certified K-12 Visual Art instructor, Ginger has worked with students of diverse backgrounds using a collaborative approach, inclusive to all. She founded Roots + Wings School of Art in Asheville, NC to provide unique visual art education to all people, as well as connect the strong local artist community with the rest of Asheville and surrounding regions through classes and workshops. The school provides a variety of programming, including a visual arts preschool, after school art sessions and custom private art sessions for people of all ages and abilities.
Ginger’s educational workshops thread the elements of the NCSCOS Language Arts standards into the exploration of both the literal and abstract representations of literature and creative writing. Students will create original works of art that visually represent what they are writing and reading through the mediums of chalk pastel, collage and encaustic wax.
Huebner is available to teach all ages, but her educational workshops are focused on middle and high school students.
