Gail grew up in the military and spent much of her early life traveling.
She heard there was a good free art school in NY and applied to Cooper Union. Cooper Union changed her life and she will forever be grateful. She graduated and moved downtown and started waiting on tables. Gail was drawing with pastel and began working with an art dealer. He introduced her to printing editions. Slowly but surely, she became a printmaker. Gail works in etching, woodcut, monoprint and lately, silk aquatint. She has been lucky to work with accomplished master printers at their shops. Gail also still draws a lot.
She is married, and has a son. She lives in Brooklyn and also lives in Montana.
Gail is a good dancer, and a good cook and she is a fly fisherwoman.

STATEMENT
I derive my image from the landscape. I focus on composition and color to suggest and shape the mood. My artwork is not simply a straightforward drawing about observed nature. I am aiming for a certain beautiful structure of line, sensation and movement. I am reaching for the unabashedly romantic.
