Mongina 'Gina' Cole was born in Bangkok, Thailand. In her late teens, she moved to Singapore to be with her family. When fate struck that would forever change the course of her life, she came to the USA and began her study in Radiologic Science at Boise State University. Discovering art later in life, she is largely self-taught. An avid reader, she read up on technique and closely shadowing and observing other artists.
Passionate about painting, she has decided to become an artist alongside her full time career as a technologist.
