Art + Artists

Ginny Hanes Boyd draws what she dreams, something she has been doing her entire career. With degrees in art and art education from UNC Charlotte, Boyd taught art in the Charlotte-Mecklenburg School System for fifteen years. During this time, her work evolved from large soldered sculptures to printing, especially mixed media monotypes. Currently Boyd is a teaching artist-in-residence at the Bechtler Museum of Modern Art and has managed student mural projects in area schools, churches, and the Mecklenburg County Courthouse. She was also a McColl Center for Art + Innovation CMS Art Teacher-in-Residence in 2004. During her residency, Boyd will be addressing issues of space and scale in her own work while simultaneously engaging the public in a collaborative art work during Open Studio Saturdays on May 18, June 15, July 13, July 27, and August 10.
