Gail Davis
Born in Saskatchewan this artist has made Nova Scotia her home. The coastlines, hills, and valleys give her the inspiration to paint the beauty of the region.
A painter of contemporary realism, she likes plein air painting along the coast where she captures the light, and the brightness of boats on water. Her paintings of villages and houses embrace the whimsical. Gail works from the many photographs she takes when travelling around the province bird watching.
While she enjoys working on her own, Gail values the support of her community of working artists, and is also a member of The Winding River Gallery in Stewiacke. Her paintings are in private collections in Canada, the US, Australia and elsewhere. Gail is on Facebook or can be emailed here.
Gail Isenor
Gail's paintings are contemplations of the ethereal in the everyday. Her work captures objects and landscapes that suggest presence.

Her paintings have been exhibited at Jack's Gallery in Wolfville, at the annual community art show in Acadia University's Art Gallery, and as a featured artist at The Landing Spa and Gallery in Canning, Nova Scotia. To see more of Gail's work check out her blog.
