Gina Glover was born in London, England. She trained in Fine Art at Chelsea School of Art, later obtaining a photography degree at the University of Westminster. She is a co-founder and Director of the Photofusion Photography Centre, London and a freelance photographic artist and lecturer. In 2008 Gina received the Royal Photographic Society's Hood Medal, and she has been twice winner of the Medical Research Council/Novartis/Daily Telegraph Visions of Science Award. Collaboration is a key element of Gina’s practice, which often represents a synthesis of ideas and imagery from many different sources. She makes site specific artwork for hospitals and lectures on themes such as 'Creativity, Photography and the Mind'. At present Gina is artist in residence at the University of Oxford, Institute of Reproductive Sciences. Much of Gina's personal work involves stories, symbols and time. She explores sensual and emotional responses to the world, using both black and white lens based and colour pinhole photography. In January 2010, Hoopers Photography Gallery in London will exhibit Liminal World, a new exhibition curated by Shirley Read. Gina Glover's book, Object of Colour: Baltic Coast, recently published by Foxhall Publishing Ltd, is collaboration with the novelist and poet Kay Syrad, featuring Kay's poems made in response to Gina's photographs of Latvia, Lithuania, Poland and Estonia. Photofusion Picture Library distributes her social documentary photography, and Millennium and Corbis distribute her art photography. Her fine art prints are distributed by Hoopers Gallery, London, Keith Cavanagh, London, UK, Santos Gallery, Houston, USA; Wanted Paris, France; and Le Bleu du Ciel, Lyon, France. A portfolio of Gina's work appears in Dislocation Magazine, Canada; AGMagazine and Portfolio Magazine, UK. In 2004 she was interviewed for the British Sound Archives of the British Library.
