Gail was born and raised in rural northern New Jersey.  She grew up loving animals and for some reason, the western lifestyle.  As a child she enjoyed running around with a camera taking pictures of wildlife. She came to Missouri in 2007 and started all over not knowing anyone but the animals she came with.  She became acquainted again with the camera and joined the Table Rock Art Guild where she met Linda Edge-Dunlap, who has become her mentor and friend. She hopes to grow in her abilities to take pictures of nature and animals that inspire people's lives, their inner emotions, and their will to move forward in their lives.
