I have been involved with art most of my life.
When I graduated from Central Art Academy with a bachelors,
I worked as a designer in advertising agency.
Then as an Art Director for a TV/Radio station for 13 years.
My husband, Ray, and I opened an art/framing shop in 1971,
we sold it in 1996. I taught painting classes and Ray did the framing.

Tole painters will understand, I received my CDA at Columbus, Ohio in 1987.
The Society of Decorative Painters had their convention in Columbus.
I am a member of our local chapter Greater Cincinnati Decorative Artists.

Every one in my family is talented. My Mother was always sewing or designing something.
My aunt is a wonderful watercolor and acrylic artist.
My cousin is published artist, Sharon Saylor Chinn.
She and I had Sharon & Gayle's Publications.

I am now just painting, teaching, and selling watercolors and supplies.

Thank you for stopping by and visiting.
