In addition to being an amazingly astute researcher and scientific illustrator for her book, "Extraordinary People Plus Unique Above Average Children," Ginger has also tapped into other mysterious, exciting portions of her artistic mind. She received her MFA from the Art Institute of Chicago where she studied painting, printing, ceramics and sculpture. Ginger also studied photography at the Chicago Institute of Design and Utah State University.

Ginger loves classical piano, ballet dancing, and even tried her hand as a mystery writer, which, sadly, ended because she was scaring herself to death. All of Ginger's delightful adventures and varied pursuits have led unintentionally and inescapably to the creation of her ingenious book.
