Gail Browne
In Gail Browne's life-long journey as an artist, printmaking has been
central to her means of expression. Most important to her vision is that
printmaking affords her the opportunity to distill the imagery into its
most iconic form. Unlike the willing surface of a painting, the
printmaking process can be explored through various means: paper as
surface or visual texture, and color, or black and white, as a powerful
influence to change the entire dynamic of the print.
Gail's first memory of making art was at the age of four, when she would
demonstrate to her family the visions in her mind's eye through her
drawings. As a printmaker, she has the opportunity to expand and explore
the drawing process, and to work at refining the expression of her
subjects.
Having lived in Provincetown for fifty years, Gail has witnessed
enormous changes to the living environment and she still looks to the
sea for inspiration in the natural world and its juxtaposition to the
evidence of man.
Gail received her BFA from the Cleveland Institute of Art and studied
with Henry Hensche at the Cape Cod School of Art. She has won awards for
her work, been in numerous shows, and operated her own gallery for ten
years.
