Gail is a creative innovator who has explored photography, representational art and mixed media. Her attention to detail led her to create realistic paintings of city scenes from her hometown in Montreal.

First introduced to art at a very young age by her father, he taught her about shading, perspective and landscape compositions.

Gail is a graduate of The International Academy of Merchandising and Design in Interior Design. She is a full time artist living and exhibiting in Toronto and her works are held in private collections in throughout Canada and the United States.

“My artwork uses the power of language to make a statement and draw out emotion.

My current body of work was inspired by my two sons’ love of superheroes.

By layering vibrant acrylic accents over a collage base and incorporating the written word, I connect the audience to cultural references that are ironic, humorous or directed from pop culture.

First thing people notice about my art is the clear-cut message. I want to convey a feeling of empowerment, optimism and positivity through my paintings.”
