Gail Taber is a mixed media artist featuring photography, collage, sculpting, and beading. After a long career in banking, she spent many years training in every aspect of art making. This pursuit included traveling extensively to work with masters of their craft to hone her skills in a variety of mediums.

Sculpting in clay remains an important part of her creative process. She was led to the wonderful world of beading in search of a more beautiful way to embellish her sculptures beyond glazes. Now her work includes found substrates, as well as her own sculptures. The combination of clay, seed beads, rhinestones, crystals, and old jewelry allow a magical transformation into a wonderful fantasy world that goes beyond nature as we know it…is it a human or a beast or a beastly human? It’s just plain fun, and an exercise in patience and humility!
