Gail Gregg

Gail Gregg is an artist, a photographer, and a journalist based in New York City.[1]

Painting in encaustic, Gregg's densely layered pictures often are inspired by aerial views of the American West[2] and refer to Minimalism, Color Field painting, the Pattern and Decoration movement, and classic landscape painting. These same ideas and interests also find their way into her collages[3] and photographs.

Gregg continues to write for such publications as ARTnews. Her work has been exhibited at galleries and small museums across the country.
