About the Artist

Artist Gail Hanson

I taught K-12 grade art for 34 years. I am ready to branch out into my own type of art and my own desired subject matter.

I love dogs... because I have always had one. The first dog my father called a $3 mutt. To me it was a very loving golden retriever mix (with what I do not know). My second dog was a white poodle, the third a black poodle and the fourth is a poodle terrier mix. All my dogs have lived very full lives. All of them had their own personalities. A large part of personality comes through eye contact. Therefore, eye contact is a very important part of my drawings.
