constructed stage settings and scenery for conventions and churches.
She has always had an
interest in art but over the past ten years she has concentrated on sculpture.
She attended college in Chico, CA and has attended various sculpture seminars
and classes.
Gale has developed a unique
ability to capture facial expressions and body language in her sculptures which
relate a statement or attitude. They are not just clay or bronze...they are
saying something.
Gale
was recently commissioned to sculpt two bronze statues to be installed in the
city of Escondido, CA. One 3/4 life
size female bronze in a reclining position was installed June 2005 and one full
size female bronze in a standing position was installed January 2006.
Gale recently completed a
commission for a Military Tribute in Escondido, CA. consisting of three life
size bronze statutes and a Wall of Courage. All were unveiled & dedicated on
Veterans’ Day, November 11, 2007.
Gale’s work can also be
seen at various Retail Galleries and Municipal Galleries throughout Southern and
Central California.
Gale commissioned artist James T. Hubbell to
design an extreme home. Gale, her husband, and their son constructed the extreme
home. After 4 years of construction Gale officially moved-into her new home on
September 19, 2005. She loves sculpture and has created many items which are
integrated into their home. She says "I am actually living in a piece of
sculpture".
Gale has a residence studio in her home where she
has showings and hosts classes.
