A note on current availability:
Gentle Touch Artistry is currently paused while I work through some ongoing health issues. I am unable to accept new commissions or complete work in progress right now.
This business officially launched at the start of this year, 2026, so this pause comes earlier than I would have liked. I expect it to last at least through spring 2027, and I'll update this page sooner if things change.
If you have an active order or a question, please don't hesitate to reach out directly. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for your support. This page was last updated on August 18, 2026.
About The Artist
Hello!
Nice to meet you! My name is Ginni Webber, and I’m a watercolor artist dedicated to capturing the personality and spirit of animals, from cherished companions to the wild world around us.
I’ve been creating art for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I was always encouraged to draw, paint, and explore different mediums, and animals were my favorite subject from the start. That love for animals led me to pursue a bachelor’s degree in wildlife ecology, where I learned to observe the natural world with careful attention to detail. My education taught me to see the subtleties in movement, behavior, and anatomy that make each animal unique, like the way light catches in their eyes, the distinctive patterns in their fur, and the quirks that make them unmistakably them.
Today, I share my home in Boone, IA with my fiancé Nate and our own menagerie: two dogs (Bessie and Minnie), a cat (Fern), and two rabbits (Gizmo and Tokki). All rescues in one way or another, the critters are my daily reminder of why this work matters.
Beyond Commissioned Work
Giving back to animal welfare is important to me. I donate portraits to various charitable organizations and volunteer with a local rabbit rescue when I can.
