Gina Matarazzo is a member of the Beautiful Bizarre Artist Directory
An award-winning artist known for her colorful and whimsical portraits of animals, Gina Matarazzo aims to show the viewer a magical way of looking at ordinary things. Through their point of view, she tries to reveal truths on how to be more genuine like animals are and be in tune with the things that matter the most in life.
Her work is meant to distract the beholder from the difficulties that the world presents to them, promote peace and joy, and to remind the viewer how there is beauty available to them if only they stop for a moment and take notice. Her works have sold throughout the U.S. and internationally.
Gina Matarazzo studied illustration at University of the Arts in Philadelphia, PA and has worked as both a designer and illustrator for the music and book publishing industries. Her past client list has included Paul McCartney, Billy Joel, Glen Phillips, Peter Tork, 88.5 WXPN, Austin Music, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, McGraw Hill, and Running Press Books.
She lives just outside of Philadelphia, PA in New Jersey and works with several galleries in the U.S. and abroad.
Gina Matarazzo has always been more of an observer to this world, and what she has a difficult time saying in words, she try to express through her work. The world can be a very somber place, but we don’t have to dwell on that. Gina likes to depict animals in her work, because they are free from ego and live a more sincere life than we do, truly knowing how to “be.” When we look at animals, we pick up on that sincerity and it opens up our emotions of joy, love and compassion. If we allow those feelings to flow freely within each of us, it can change our perception or point of view, and help make the world a better place. She hopes that her work reminds us that there is still time to be open to moments of wonder, feel joy, experience peace, believe in hope and see the beauty that exists around you. Get out of your head and into your heart by embracing the magical possibilities that exist between the worlds of nature and imagination.
