Jina Gelder
Jina is a wildlife artist based in Newcastle upon Tyne. She loves expressing life and movement in her work and making people smile with her paintings.
Jina has raised over ÂŁ116,000 for various charities by painting sculptures and finds it incredibly rewarding to help in this way.
âShake Your Tailfeathersâ is designed to cheer people up and make them think of sunny days at the beach.
âWhen I visit the seaside I always think of seagulls - you can have a lot of fun giving seagulls cheeky characters and personalities!â says Jina.
Juliaâs House is a fantastic hospice and I wanted to create a sculpture that makes people smile but also raises awareness and funds for such a vital service
