Gail Cole is a self-taught arist originally from Minnesota. She began a new life and creed when she moved to the mountains of Wyoming in 2003. She loves every part of the western culture, especially the history----"It's like you can feel the people and animals still trying to tell you their story. Who were they? Where did they come from? Why are they here?"
Acrylic paints, resins, metallics, and historical paper from old ledger books and maps take center stage at her mountain high studio in Wapiti, Wyoming. While studying old photographs and books like "The Real People of Then", she paints the stories and lives from cowgirls of the early 1900's to the native american people who lived and died in the western world.
