About Ginger
Ginger Huebner is a visual artist, art educator, and creative facilitator. She holds a Bachelor of Architecture from Virginia Tech and a MAT in Visual Arts from the University of the Arts. Her mixed media artwork uses found imagery and chalk pastel to create works that are visual translations capturing feelings and emotions that transcend expression through mere words. Through her facilitation, education and coaching work her mission is to help people (re)discover new ways to connect through creativity. Her TEDx Talk “Conversations Beyond Words-Translating life through imagery & color” distills this work. Learn more →

Embrace unique time and space together with your given/chosen family unit in the WNC mountains!
August 3-4, 2024
2-day retreat
Any and all ‘Family’ units
Location: William Black Lodge in Montreat, NC

Immerse yourself in her creative process and engage in meaningful conversations amidst the serene backdrop of Western North Carolina.

There is absolutely no first hand artistic talent necessary to participate and all materials are included.
What to expect:
Inviting, fun and creative atmosphere for your family as a group
Flexible creative explorations that can’t be ‘wrong’
Opportunity for connection within your family unit and with others
Open studio time with your family - access to Ginger’s materials (and Ginger!)
Time to rest, relax, and be outside in nature as you desire
What not to expect:
Intense, stressful, forced creating time
Being asked to follow specific ways to create that can be ‘wrong’
