Her major interests in art are the Portrait, Calligraphy and also Manuscript Illumination. All of this fits well when 'writing' an Icon. An Icon is "Theology in Color". Her work is done in acrylic and is highly glossed to illuminate the vibrant colors. It looks especially well on the acrylic and metal print. Gail is available for commission work both for private individuals and for churches.
