Gina Rios
Hey there! I'm Gina, a born creative who has been hiding my talent for far too long. Although I’ve lived all over the US, Chicago always calls me back, and I proudly call it home.
​
Art and painting on walls have been my go-to stress relievers for as long as I can remember. After growing up schooled and immersed in the world of visual arts in Kansas City (the Missouri side), I lived somewhat of a nomadic life and eventually earned my degree from Minneapolis College of Art and Design. Since then, I’ve explored everything from organic farming and owning an ice cream business to developing and facilitating sensory-rich educational programs for both local and national youth-focused nonprofits.
​
Creatively, I've always created art for myself on MANY rented apartment walls (goodbye, deposits!) and shared my work with family, unsure if anyone else would "get it." When I decided to leave my last job and felt stressed about what to pursue next, I took it out on my dining room wall with a mural. With a leap of faith, I posted it online, and here I am today—a full-time muralist!
​
Now, I’m excited to create something special for you, a piece that reflects your unique style and brings your space to life. So, if you're ready for some new energy and a change, let's make something beautiful together!
