Aside from being an artist, Gina is a corporate business woman. She holds down a full-time job as a Program Analyst for one of the Nation's top 100 Defense Contractors in the Federal government contracting arena. She possesses a degree in Computer Information Systems, as well as a Webmaster Certification. In addition, she is a plus-size model (artistic, stock, hair & make-up) and free-lance make-up artist. Trying to find a way to incorporate everything together, and juggle her many responsibilities has proved to be a challenge, but she is determined to stay on top of her game. Prayerfully, one day she will be able to truly live her passion and focus on her jewelry and other artistic endeavors full-time. But for now, she's happy as can be learning, and growing, and running GGX on a part-time basis.
GGX Jewels was started in June 2005 by Gina (Nims) Brotherton, who is a self-taught
Four years, a husband, and a beautiful baby later (and a short hiatus)...she's back! Re-energized and re-focused, in May 2009 her creative juices are flowing once again, and thus began the revamp Glamma Gurl Xpressions - GGX.
