A shy child, she began making art at a young age as well as dancing. Later, with a BFA in dance from SUNY Purchase and a move to NYC, Gayle made her living dancing and doing illustration and graphic design.\u003C/p\u003E\r\n\u003Cp\u003EStarting in 2013, Gayle decided to fulfill her lifelong dream of being a fine artist working in oils. She studied under many wonderful teachers at Grand Central Academy, New York Academy of Art, The Art Students League, and Salmagundi Club with teachers Alyssa Monks, David Kassan, Quang Ho, Travis Schlaht, Ted Minoff, and Patrick Byrne (among others) but her main instruction is from\u0026nbsp;Chris Raccioppi who she continues to study with privately.\u003C/p\u003E\r\n\u003Cp\u003EGayle\u0026rsquo;s work has been exhibited at the MEAM Museum (Museu Europeu d\u0026rsquo;Art Modern), Wausau Museum of Contemporary Art, Sotheby\u0026rsquo;s (NYC and Los Angeles), Salmagundi Club, The National Arts Club, Williamsburg Art and Historical Center, Principle Gallery, Abend Gallery, Foundation Gallery, and the New York Hall of Science, among others. Her paintings have appeared in various magazines, books, and films and have been finalists in the Figurativas competition (2019), Art Renewal Center\u0026rsquo;s juried salons (2020 figurative and landscape, 2019, 2018, 2016, 2015), the Portrait Society of America (2020, 2019, 2018, 2016) competition, and the Artist\u0026rsquo;s Magazine (2019, 2015, 2014, 2009). Her painting \u0026ldquo;Young American Dreaming\u0026rdquo; was included in the exhibition \u0026ldquo;Painting The Figure NOW II\u0026rdquo; at the Wausau Museum of Contemporary Art from July 9 to Sept 28, 2019 alongside artists Vincent Desiderio, Nick Alm, and Bo Bartlett among others.

Gayle is a member of the Salmagundi Club in NY, is an ARC Associate Living Master, and has signature status in the International Plein Air Painters Association and American Women Artists.\u003C/p\u003E\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThe following has been said about her work: \u0026ldquo;Gayle\u0026rsquo;s paintings encapsulate moments of beauty in a timeless fashion. They transcend any real place and time and send the viewer into a parallel reality. Her style is influenced equally by old masters and contemporary art and she masters them both. While naturalistic, it is subjective and captures the spirit of the subject imbued with a relatable melancholy.\u0026rdquo;\u003C/p\u003E\r\n\u003Cdiv\u003E\u003C/div\u003E","Awards":"\u003Cp\u003ECatharine Lorillard Wolfe Art Club\u0026nbsp;125th Annual Open Juried Exhibition\u003Cbr /\u003EThe Salmagundi Club, New York NY, 2022\u003C/p\u003E\r\n\u003Cp\u003EMujer\u0026nbsp;curated by Didi Menendez\u003Cbr /\u003E33 Contemporary, Online, 2022\u003C/p\u003E\r\n\u003Cp\u003ESalon des Refus\u0026eacute;s\u003Cbr /\u003EWausau Museum of Contemporary Art, Wausau Wisconsin, 2022\u003C/p\u003E\r\n\u003Cp\u003ENational Oil and Acrylic Painter\u0026rsquo;s Best of America Small Works\u003Cbr /\u003EBeverly McNeil Gallery, Birmingham Alabama, 2022\u003C/p\u003E\r\n\u003Cp\u003EModPortrait\u003Cbr /\u003EBantierra Palace in Zaragoza, Spain and\u0026nbsp;European Museum of Modern Art (MEAM)\u0026nbsp;in Barcelona, Spain, 2022\u003C/p\u003E\r\n\u003Cp\u003ESalmagundi Black and White Exhibition 2022\u003Cbr /\u003EThe Salmagundi Club, New York NY, 2022\u003C/p\u003E\r\n\u003Cp\u003EImpressionism Today\u0026nbsp;and\u0026nbsp;Tonalism Today\u003Cbr /\u003EThe Salmagundi Club, New York NY, 2022\u003C/p\u003E\r\n\u003Cp\u003E2022 New York Figurative Show\u003Cbr /\u003EThe Salmagundi Club, New York NY, 2022\u003C/p\u003E\r\n\u003Cp\u003EBreaking Through: The Rise of American Women Artists\u003Cbr /\u003ECustoms House Museum, Clarksville TN, 2022\u003C/p\u003E\r\n\u003Cp\u003EIconic\u0026nbsp;curated by Steven Alan Bennett and Dr. Elaine Melotti Schmidt\u003Cbr /\u003EWausau Museum of Contemporary Art, Wausau Wisconsin, 2021\u003C/p\u003E\r\n\u003Cp\u003E15th Art Renewal Center Salon Exhibition\u003Cbr /\u003ESotheby\u0026rsquo;s NYC,\u0026nbsp;European Museum of Modern Art (MEAM), Barcelona Spain, 2021\u003C/p\u003E\r\n\u003Cp\u003EAu Naturel\u003Cbr /\u003E33 Contemporary, Chicago Illinois, 2021\u003C/p\u003E\r\n\u003Cp\u003ENational Oil \u0026amp; Acrylic Painters\u0026rsquo; Society Spring 2021 Online Show\u003Cbr /\u003ENOAPS Online, 2021\u003C/p\u003E\r\n\u003Cp\u003EAnnual Member\u0026rsquo;s Exhibition\u003Cbr /\u003EThe Salmagundi Club, New York NY, 2021\u003C/p\u003E\r\n\u003Cp\u003ECatharine Lorillard Wolfe Art Club\u0026nbsp;124th Annual Open Juried Exhibition\u003Cbr /\u003EThe Salmagundi Club, New York NY, 2021\u003C/p\u003E\r\n\u003Cp\u003ELifting the Sky: Elevating the Works of American Women Artists\u003Cbr /\u003EAmerican Women Artists, 2021\u003C/p\u003E\r\n\u003Cp\u003ENYC curated by Rick Davidman and Lisa Lebofsky\u003Cbr /\u003E33 Contemporary, Online, 2020\u003C/p\u003E\r\n\u003Cp\u003EPainting the Figure Now III\u003Cbr /\u003EWausau Museum of Contemporary Art, Wausau Wisconsin, 2020\u003C/p\u003E\r\n\u003Cp\u003EAllied Artists of America 107th Annual Juried Exhibition\u003Cbr /\u003EOnline, 2020\u003C/p\u003E\r\n\u003Cp\u003EAmbivalence curated by Carol Hodes\u003Cbr /\u003E33 Contemporary, Online, 2020\u003C/p\u003E\r\n\u003Cp\u003ESalmagundi Club Annual Member\u0026rsquo;s Exhibition\u003Cbr /\u003EOnline, 2020\u003C/p\u003E\r\n\u003Cp\u003EInternational Guild of Realism 2020 Spring Salon\u003Cbr /\u003EOnline,\u0026nbsp; 2020\u003C/p\u003E\r\n\u003Cp\u003EFiguratively Speaking\u003Cbr /\u003EThe Salmagundi Club, New York NY, 2020\u003C/p\u003E\r\n\u003Cp\u003ECatharine Lorillard Wolfe Art Club\u0026nbsp;123rd Annual Open Juried Exhibition\u003Cbr /\u003ENational Arts Club, New York NY, 2020\u003C/p\u003E\r\n\u003Cp\u003ELand and Sea\u003Cbr /\u003EThe Salmagundi Club, New York NY, 2020\u003C/p\u003E\r\n\u003Cp\u003ESalmagundi 111th Annual Thumb-Box Exhibition\u003Cbr /\u003EThe Salmagundi Club, New York NY, 2019\u003C/p\u003E\r\n\u003Cp\u003EBig Action in Small Spaces III\u003Cbr /\u003ELord \u0026amp; Andra Gallery, New Rochelle New York, 2019\u003C/p\u003E\r\n\u003Cp\u003ERicheson Figure and Portrait 2019\u003Cbr /\u003ERicheson Gallery, Kimberly Wisconsin, 2019\u003C/p\u003E\r\n\u003Cp\u003EOil Painters of America 2019 Eastern Regional Juried Exhibition of Traditional Oils\u003Cbr /\u003EBeverly McNeil Gallery, Birmingham Alabama, 2019\u003C/p\u003E\r\n\u003Cp\u003EBeamesderfer 4: Real/Unreal\u003Cbr /\u003EB.
