Gail Morris

gail morrisLandscape painter, Gail Morris, has won many prestigious awards for her paintings. With her artwork, she likes to experiment with deconstruction and making the layers of paint as thin as possible, often times rubbing 60% of the paint off the canvass, or using steel wool and razor blades to distress the paint.

She captures the soothing exuberance of the Western landscape by reducing each experience to its visual and emotional essence. Her serene paintings are influenced by the traditions of early California painting as well as the work by the great color field abstractionists.
