While drawing inspiration from the local, Gall ultimately transcends place through a complex visual dialogue that has social, environmental, and human implications. Gall’s work explores human relationships as well as our relationship with nature and, in fact, with art itself. There is always contradiction in her work of beauty and decay, love and loss, serious and silly. For her, and all of us, life is full of challenges which are serious, but seen through the looking glass, are quite amusing or slightly absurd. Beautifully executed in color and form, her paintings elicit smiles from viewers, because no matter how hard we try to make sense of things, life is funny. 

Gall received her BFA and MFA from Rutgers University and has been a fixture in the Columbus arts community for more than thirty years. She currently lives in Zanesville, Ohio.
