I’m delighted to share an early glance at my 2026 exhibition schedule with you, dear tastemakers!
North Street Gallery, Bristol, until 26th April - a group show including a collection of my oil paintings, and a browser full of sketches. Including the smaller Raft Of The Medusa painting. Open Thurs - Sun, 11-5pm. Also available from this catalogue.
23rd - 27th June - The Society of Women Artists 165th annual exhibition (Mall Galleries, London). Nb 1: Quirky opening times . Nb 2: Let me know if you’d like a ticket for the private view.
27th June, afternoon - live portrait demo at the SWA show (above)
“Sharing a simple approach for capturing a quick likeness, and the essence of a sitter,
using the most basic materials. Gail will introduce her materials, followed by a series of 20 minute portrait sketches from life, explaining the process throughout. There will be a small number of slots for sitters with the option of the portraits being available to take away at the end of the day. An optional donation to this year’s charity would be very welcome.”
15th August - 6th September Knepp Wilding Estate (show info here)
A Solo exhibition of Dungscape - the canvases, sketches, and concertina sketchbook. Also my large framed Snails and Slugs, hopefully linocuts, and definitely entomological specimens. There will be a PV on 15th August, possibly a talk, possibly dinner event. details tbc. Highly recommend checking out their website for glamping, safaris, and lots of other events. Accommodation gets very booked up if you are thinking of making a weekend of it.

1st week of October SWLA annual show The Natural Eye (Mall Galleries, London)

All artists appreciate people taking the trouble to visit their shows. It is always a delight for me, and never an obligation for you.
Please do let me know if you are ever planning to visit a show I’m in, and would like to meet up - I will try to arrange to be in the gallery when you come, so I can greet you and personally show you round, with as much simpering as your heart desires!
Wishing you a very happy Easter Monday, and a good week ahead,
Gail x
Lots of fabulous outings for your fabulous work! 👌
I wish I could be in Bristol now to see some of your artworks in the gallery. Some day I will get there.
