My name is Rita Ginsberg, and I specialize in the medium of soft pastel. I enjoy painting a variety of subjects, including wildlife, seascapes, landscapes, and pet portraits.

As I paint, I enjoy the connection that I feel with my subject. As the mood of the painting begins to develop, I become inspired and focused on the finest details. My aim is to express that inner connection with all of my pastel paintings.

To ensure the preservation of my art, I use acid-free archival paper. My favorite is a sanded surface that grips and holds the color pigment in several layers. Because pastels are pure pigment, they will maintain a rich, deep luster for years to come.
