Gina Keatley
Gina Keatley (born March 9, 1980) is an American artist, curator, and media personality. She is the founder and director of Bushwick Gallery in Brooklyn, New York, an appointment-only gallery and creative hub that highlights both her own abstract expressionist works and those of international contemporary artists, with a curatorial philosophy emphasizing risk-taking, concept-driven programming, and creating space for artists to work beyond conventional boundaries. Keatley is also known for her earlier career as a nutritionist and television host, recognized for her food-focused programming and innovative approaches to health communication. In 2013, she was awarded the President's Council on Fitness, Sports & Nutrition Community Leadership Award for her contributions to public health.
In June 2007 Keatley co-founded and was CEO of Nourishing USA. In 2013 she stepped down as the CEO. Delving into urban malnourishment issues and pushing for promotion of personal responsibility for health resulted in Turner Broadcasting naming her a CNN Hero. She was named by L’Oreal as a Woman of Worth, "Special Inspiration Award" at the Inspiration Awards for Women and a Wiley College Women of Excellence Awardee.
In 2012, Keatley launched a private nutrition counseling center, Keatley Medical Nutrition Therapy. Keatley received The President's Council on Fitness, Sports & Nutrition Community Leadership Award in 2013.
In 2014, Keatley was named one of Collaborate Magazine's 40 Under 40 for her accomplishments as one of the industry's top young professionals. In 2015, Keatley became a spokesperson for "The Malaysia Kitchen for the World".
In December 2017, Keatley became a professor of International Cuisine at Queens College, City University of New York. In May 2018, Keatley facilitated the launch of SIMMER, a tech and food collaboration. In 2018, SIMMER began development of the app Hungry4Halal, a mobile application designed to help users find locations that serve halal cuisine. In January 2022, Keatley became the chief executive officer of the Sicilian Olive Leaf Tea Company and launched Matche, the world's first powdered olive leaf tea at the World Tea Conference and Expo.
On May 16, 2023, Keatley gave a TEDxCUNY Talk titled "The Journey to Finding Your Food Identity".
Beginning in January 2025, Keatley worked primarily as a visual artist. Her primary collections, the "Bone Series" and "Glimpse Series," engage themes of human emotion and natural beauty. Her art has been featured virtually in the Hamptons Fine Art Fair and Agora Gallery's Summer City Idyll.
In 2025, Keatley’s dual role as artist and gallerist was profiled in ArtRabbit. In just over a year, she produced more than 50 original works, including the Untamed Moderns, Linen, and Sow series—each reflecting a dynamic exploration of control, spontaneity, and compositional contrast. In July 2025, Keatley debuted her Miles series—large-scale abstract works themed around global emotional landscapes—at the Hamptons Fine Art Fair. Exhibiting through Bushwick Gallery (Booths 405 & 406), Keatley presented works alongside artists Beth Shaw, Jon Sarkin, Roger W. Hsia, Sherihan Khalil, and Kelly Nicole. The gallery's curation emphasized materiality, memory, and place-based intuition. Media coverage noted Keatley's presence at the fair as both an exhibiting artist and gallery director, featuring her works Cape Town, South Africa and Miles: Palermo.
