Artist Biography:
Gail began practising art in her 50s, following careers in advertising and special education. Initially taking a couple of weekend courses in encaustic art in Ontario, and working for several years at her home studio, she later completed a 2-year fine art diploma while living in Ireland. More recently, her work has focussed on found objects, discovered while exploring the rural and urban areas around Kamloops. She has a small studio on Victoria Street, and this is her second solo show with the Kamloops Arts Council.
Artist Statement:
Whether walking in nature or in the city, heightened observation often reveals small elements of beauty in items not traditionally thought of as beautiful. Yet, these items have an energy, a history, and a story attached to them. Combining these found objects in a piece of art, continues their evolution, or journey. However, it hasn’t ended with this piece of art. I am motivated by the challenge of working with found objects and having a creative process that depends on serendipity.
Gail’s show will be exhibited in the main gallery from May 19 to June 17, 2022
