Ginger Gilmour (born Virginia Hasenbein; January 19, 1949) is an American artist, sculptor, and former model.[1][2] Between 1975 and 1990, she was married to Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour. Since their divorce, she has lived in England.
Personal life
[edit | edit source]From 1962 to 1966, Hasenbein studied at Wayne Memorial High School in Wayne, Michigan, and graduated cum laude.[3] She then undertook a two-year foundation course in chemical engineering and art at Michigan State University.[3]
Hasenbein met David Gilmour in Ann Arbor, Michigan, in October 1971, while accompanying her then boyfriend backstage at a Pink Floyd concert.[4] She described their meeting as "love at first sight",[4] and they married on July 7, 1975[2][4] with the wedding reception held at Abbey Road Studios. The couple had four children:[4] Alice (born 1976), Clare (born 1979), Sara (born 1981, now a fashion stylist[5]), and Matthew (born 1985).[6]
She is depicted on the inner sleeve of Gilmour's 1978 eponymous first solo album. They separated during Pink Floyd's 1987–89 world tour and later divorced.[citation needed] She published a book about her life with him, Memoirs of the Bright Side of the Moon, in 2015.
Art
[edit | edit source]Gilmour studied for eight years with the English artist Cecil Collins.[2] She now works from her 15th-century farmhouse[4] near Yapton, West Sussex,[7] where she has created several studios.[4] A recurring theme in her work is angels.[4] She also teaches art[4] and a form of esoteric healing called 'Mental Colour Healing'. Her work has been exhibited in a number of galleries and other venues,[8] including[8] Mall Galleries, London, Arundel Castle, and the German Embassy in London. She worked in partnership with California-based artists Dana Lynne Anderson and Annie Harrison under the 'Renowned Artist' brand.[9] She has been commissioned to produce work for gardens at the Hampton Court Flower Show and Gardeners' World Live[8][10] and has illustrated books by Phil Murray.[8] As of July 2011, her 11-foot sculpture inspired by the Olympic Games is installed at Heathrow Airport's Terminal 5.[11]
Gilmour is a member of the Society of Women Artists.[4] In June 2007, she received a British Red Cross Award for 'Services to Humanity'.[8][12]
