Oil painter Gail Black is a lifelong North Carolinian whose landscape work of local marshlands and wetlands is being featured in Wild Places  at Sunset River Gallery now through October 24. Gail’s painting style is representational but emphasizes a strong abstract structure with contrasting values and bolt paint application that results in paintings that spark excitement with her abstracted view of nature. The strongly textured work portrays a sense of a subject rather than its precise image.

Speaking about the wild places left in the Carolinas, the artist says, “These extraordinary and untouched areas are vanishing at an alarming pace. I want to share these places with the world before they have totally vanished and leave a visual record for the future. I hope this visual. history will find homes where they can nourish the viewers’ souls and pass on our mutual love of extraordinary places.”

Gail will be generously donating 50% of her proceeds to the Coastal Land Trust!
