Born and raised in Vancouver, BC, Canada, Gina developed a passion for the arts at an early age, beginning with acting on stage at the age of eight and continuing through college. As a teenager, she starred in lead roles for two short films before following her passion to work behind the camera. Following graduation, Gina became a successful professional makeup artist in film and fashion for over two decades. She worked in Hollywood in the 90's as a celebrity makeup artist, collaborating with notable 'breakout' stars such as Drew Barrymore, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Robert Downey Jr. Her first feature film as key makeup artist was in 1987, and she continued to key many more independent features.
In 2004, Gina retired from makeup artistry and established They Representation, representing artists and professionals in the industry. She then began producing advertising and fashion photo and video campaigns, leading to the launch of her film company, They Film, in 2015. This period marked the start of her four-year journey in creating her documentary Krow's TRANSformation. Additionally, she co-owns PacificWest Special Effects with her husband, Tony Lazarowich (Elf (2003), Final Destination: Bloodlines (2025)), a Senior Special Effects Supervisor, who is also her producing partner. Together, they have three grown children.
