Gina Kukulski (b. 1993) is a Michigan based still life photographer, who graduated from Aquinas College (Grand Rapids, Michigan) in 2015 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Photography. She draws inspiration from traditional Northern European still life painting, and the work of Paul Cézanne and Giorgio Morandi.

Her work starts with minimal materials: matte white paint, pigments, found objects and wood panels. She collects found objects, like recycled bottles, glasses, and test tubes, then gives them a new life with paint. The paint is tinted slightly with pigments, then used to paint each vessel and wood panel. The slight variations of paint allows for depth and contrast. She uses digital photography and experimental printing processes to achieve her final works.
