Gina Destri Keffer

Visual Arts

Gina Destri Keffer is a versatile artist in Buda Texas, working in many mediums. She loves painting what she sees with a hint of memory, feelings, and energetic lines or texture to communicate focus and emotion. Gina grew up in Olathe and Overland Park, Kansas and declared at the age of 13 that she “wanted to be an artist.”

She received a BFA in Studio Art from Oklahoma Baptist University and found her true teaching voice in facilitating after school art clubs for elementary school students (Art With Gena!). Now, teaching art is how Gina gives back to the community she is a part of, building others in their creative confidence and artistic knowledge.

“I appreciate that my grandchildren think here, that it is a warm and welcoming atmosphere, and that each child is honored for who they are.”
