Gail Bracegirdle
representational artist whose
watercolors are filled with light
and color. She prefers to work
from life or from sketches made
on location in order to observe and
capture the effects of direct and
reflected light and shadow on her
subject.
Her artistic goal is to share the
impression of an experience, a
mood, or even an occasional visual
pun through the language of
transparent watercolor.
Gail B. (as her work is signed)
studied textile design at Moore
College of Art and had a career in
that industry until 1990. Wanting
to explore new challenges, she
began to dedicate all her time and
energy to painting in watercolor.
In 1993, she added teaching to her
list of accomplishments and finds
this to be a wonderfully enjoyable
and rewarding experience.
