Many of Mikel's greatest works of original art are in the
demanding medium of the watercolour. However, one must take notice that
her paintings, drawings, and pastels also demonstrate Gina's exceptional
ability in the field of fine art. During her career, Gina Mikel has proven
equally adept in the depictions of landscapes, portraits, still life and
animal studies. Gina's recent illustration projects have included illustrating,
fish, frogs and birds for the JASON Project produced by Wisconsin
Sea Grand and Bird illustrations for Organic Gardening Magazine.
A recent watercolor of the World Trade Center (painted during the week
following 9-11) was printed in the local newspaper. |

Not many masters of modern art have dedicated most of their
artistic talents to scientific illustration with the skill and brilliance
that Gina Mikel possesses. As one can observe from the extremely meticulous
detail, which she uses to illustrate her subjects to the most delicate
renditions of colour, perspective and tonal harmonies, she definitely
deserves a place with the great masters of scientific illustration. Bird
of Paradise is a fine example of the botanical art created by the American artist,
Gina Mikel. |
