I have finished Prints for the Artist Gail Siptak. She is an artist that I have admired for a long time and have enjoyed working with on this print project. We picked three of her gouaches and turned them into polymer Photograuvers. They turned out beautiful, full of life and color. We will have her prints available at Texas Collaborative starting November 11th 2006. November 11th 6pm to 9pm we will be having a reception for the artist.

Gail is having a show of her Paintings at Koelsch Gallery 703 Yale opening November 16,2006 with a reception from 6-9. Gail’s work is Narrative in most respects. Here is a comment she made about her work;

"Narration is an old and honorable tradition, both visual and oral. It is a path I follow instinctively. My paintings evolve in much the same way as characters in a book. They present themselves to me, lead me a merry chase, and finally resolve themselves into a cohesive unit”.

The figures in these three prints are very much like book characters. Gail is a local artist that was born in San Francisco. She studied art at the San Francisco Art Institute; San Jose State, Ca; and Glassell, Houston, TX. She received fellowships from Centre E’Etudes D’Architecture et D’Urbanisme, Saninte, France also Yaddo Colony of the Arts, Sarasota Springs N.Y. and Millay Colony for the Arts, Steepletop, NY. She is a well-established artist that has shown her work statewide, nationally and internationally. Gail is represented in Houston by Koelsch Gallery.
