Artist Background

GG’s Creation Station was founded by Reenada (Ginna) Perez, an experienced educator, teaching artist, and creative entrepreneur with a passion for hands-on learning. With a background in education, child development, and arts integration, Ginna has spent over a decade designing engaging experiences that combine creativity with academic content.

After years of working with children and families in both formal and informal learning environments—including child development centers, public schools, and community programs—Ginna launched GG’s Creation Station as a way to merge her love for crafting with her dedication to student engagement.

The Sublimation Art Residency was developed as a cross-disciplinary program that blends visual art with science (STEAM), allowing students to explore physical changes in matter while creating meaningful, personalized artwork. Each lesson is standards-aligned, developmentally appropriate, and designed to foster confidence, curiosity, and creativity.

GG’s Creation Station continues to grow as a hub for custom gifts, creative workshops, and school residencies—all centered around the belief that every child is an artist, and every learning experience should leave a lasting impression.
