Gail is a leading linocut printmaker and painter of the contemporary urban landscape. Her images are made using vibrant colours and strong, bold structures.  Her work is concerned with London and she often features its trains and underground stations, with its journeys forming a backdrop to our lives. She is interested in the ‘unconsidered and unnoticed places that people pass through’ on their way to somewhere else. Gail is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Painter-Printmakers and currently holds the post of Honorary Curator.  She has received many awards and prizes for her work, including the Birgit Skiold Award and the Paintings in Hospital prize.  Gail is based in Woolwich, South London; she has exhibited widely and is represented by many galleries.

Gail has very kindly agreed to talk to PMC members about her work and specifically about a recent linocut she has made of Borough Market.  There will be an opportunity to ask Gail questions about her work at the end of her talk.

In normal times, we endeavour to organise regular studio visits for our members, so we are very pleased that Gail’s talk will give all our members the experience of a studio visit during these difficult times.

The talk will take place via Zoom on Tuesday 29 June at 6.30pm. To participate in the Zoom meeting, you will need to have the Zoom app installed on your computer, tablet or phone.

Please note: the talk will be recorded for a variety of public platforms.  If you do not wish to appear, you will need to turn off your video and audio before the start of the talk.

Our series of Zoom talks provide a wonderful opportunity for PMC members to connect with each other and to discover new and unique aspects of printmaking, which will hopefully provide plenty of food for thought and inspiration going forward.  We have had a very positive response to our previous talks, which many of our members have participated in and we do hope you are able to join us on Tuesday 29 June.
