About

Creative works to add color to your life!

Gail has been involved in the arts and crafting worlds for over 40 years, from needlepoint to floral design to painting. She has done numerous craft and art shows over the years. She likes to make her work affordable to many so that it can be enjoyed. Both her crafts and art come in multiple sizes and styles - there's a piece for everyone and every environment!

Currently, Gail primarily works with alcohol ink.  She creates both small and large pieces, often bringing to life nature.  She likes to experiment with techniques and different surfaces. Some of the dried flowers in the pieces come from her own gardens. The flowers are picked and dried between paper in a wooden press. Gail uses fine pens to add in animals and details on top of the alcohol ink. 

Gail also makes small canvas magnets with alcohol ink backgrounds. She uses stickers, small items, and dried flowers to design a scene on each small canvas. Some magnets also have details drawn in with a pen creating an ink drawing with an alcohol ink background. Each canvas has a paper backing and 2-4 strong magnets glued on. 

Some current and older works are also available as 5x7inch photo prints, matted. Older works are a variety of pen and ink, colored pencil, acrylic or alcohol ink. Originals of most of the current prints are still available. 

Whether you're adding a piece of art to brighten up your room or you need a colorful inspirational reminder on your fridge (or in your workspace!), Gail has it.
