Hi! I’m Gail. I use my artwork as a vehicle for creating awareness, posing questions, and for making statements on various social issues. My creative process is anchored in a consistent, intuitive approach to being present in the now. I live immersed in the flow of creation, incorporating what comes into my stream of consciousness {intellectually, emotionally and/or physically} into my artwork.
