Gail Liston Paints at Studio 106

I love drama. I love mystery. I love color and costumes and shadow and light. I love stories and all the myriad ways of telling them. I have been an actor and designer most of my life, and when I started painting it seemed a logical extension of this love of theater. To me, a painting is all about the subtext, the conflict, the emotions conveyed by people and places. What is happening? What is about to happen? Who is this person and what does she want?

Theatre is ever present in my art. My goal as a painter is to create a magical world for the viewer, to pull you in, and like a good play, engage your imagination and emotions.

Let the play begin!

Gail paints at Studio 106 which is located in Langley, in McLeod Alley. The entrance is behind the building, near the Whidbey Island Bank parking lot.  The Studio is open for the‘First Saturday Art Walk’ special events, and ‘by chance’ (under normal circumstances) as Gail and her fellow artists are often working and they welcome your visit.

Gail’s work is currently exhibited at WICA (Whidbey Island Center for the Arts) , however, all events are cancelled at WICA due to the COVID-19 global health crisis. Hopefully, it will re-open in time for the ‘First Saturday Art Walk’ in May.  Information can be found on the Studio 106 Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/langleypainters/
