Gail grew up in Manchester and trained there in Wood, Metal and Ceramics before awarded an RCA bursary to take her MA in Jewellery and Silversmithing at the Royal College of Art in London where she won the Bakri Yehia Prize for Excellence in 1983, and in 1995 she won the first prize in the Merseyside Craft Competition. She now lives in North-West London and specialises in acrylic jewellery and wall pieces. Her work has attracted a large and enthusiastic following, both in the UK and in many overseas countries. Her designs have been featured in the national and international press and on TV including a 30 minute Japanese documentary about her work and lifestyle.

Her work is found in both national and private collections and has been listed in the contemporary section of Judith Miller's Collectables Guide.

About the Work

Gail's innovative jewellery and wall pieces have evolved by continuous experimentation with modern acrylic materials.

The pattern and drawing refract dense colour with metallic gold and silver undertones across smooth and sculpted surfaces. These interact with the organic curvature and geometry of the highly polished optical-quality acrylic shapes creating shimmering, ever changing iridescence.
