Gail’s love of music, dance, and art has expanded to oil painting.  Her first experience with art began as early as the third grade, with a request for her to create a chalk mural for the blackboard of the first grade classroom.

Music and dance were also a part of her school years.  Her studies included The Atlanta Civic Ballet, school band and orchestra groups.  After graduation, she started her career in Finance specializing in Real Estate Development for 20 years.  The next venture was to join her husband in his new business.   Several years later, Gail decided to re-kindle her Oil painting skills with study classes at Clayton College and many workshop of well known artist.

After many years of a career in the business world, mother to her son, helpmate to her husband, loving three wonderful grandchildren, she started to paint again.
