Gail Anne
is best known for her beautiful and vibrant portraits of
the horse. Her portraits convey to the viewer the spirit,
beauty and personality of each animal on an individual basis. An
avid lover of animals, Gail has been involved with the breeding,
training and showing her own Arabian horses for many years. The
knowledge and experience gained through this endeavor, in addition to
her personal spiritual connection and sensitivity with these animals
enables her to capture on canvas an inner perspective of the life and
essence of the animal on an individual basis, which is conveyed to the
viewer.
Gail
has studied under several national and internationally known artists.
Her powerful scenes on canvas are evidenced in the dramatic use and
knowledge of color and technique gained over the years. Gail's
award winning painting entitled "The Valkyries" is an example of her
ability to convey the spirit, drama, and beauty of the many equine
portraits that she has been commissioned to paint. The viewer is
drawn into the paintings. through their own personal interpretations of
the feeling and power and beauty of the animals portrayed.
Gail resides in Borrego Springs, California, a small unincorporated
desert town. Borrego Springs is located in the middle of the Anza
Borrego Desert State Park, the largest state park in the
continental United States. She also captures on canvas, the
wildlife and landscapes of the Anza Borrego area. The quiet small
town atmosphere and beautiful surrounding open desert, with its
abundance of flora and fauna, are of tremendous inspiration to the
artist, which is apparent in Gail's paintings.
