Rebecca Gale

Rebecca has studied with nationally known artists Sally Strand, Mitsuno Ishii Reedy, and John Lencicki, but considers herself basically a self-taught artist. Raised in a small river town in Ohio, she has traveled and lived all over the country, but now resides in Elizabeth, Colorado. "I love to paint the scenes of life in different areas of the country. My goal is to take the person who is viewing my art back to a nostalgic place in time. To a moment in their life when everything was right…to a feeling of safety and comfort. There are enough negative things in life, art doesn't have to be one of them."

Rebecca has exhibited her work in many local and nationally juried art shows. Her works hang in private and corporate collections throughout the country. She has been a featured artist in The Artist's Sketchbook Magazine, Kite Tales and North Light Art Magazine. Rebecca is listed in the Who's Who of American Women 2004-2005. She regularly donates her work to such charitable organizations as Rocky Mountain PBS, and The Douglas-Elbert County Women's Crisis Center to help them in their fund raising efforts. Most recently she has been facilitating therapeutic art projects with The Delores Project, a shelter for homeless women in Denver, Colorado.

Rebecca is a member of The Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators, The Pastel Society of Colorado, and The Parker Artists Guild. Rebecca is represented by The Firehouse Art Gallery in Fort Collins, CO, Paintin' Up a Storm in Franktown, CO, and The Running Creek Gallery in Elizabeth, CO.
