Gail Firmin, watercolor artist and instructor.

 

Gail Firmin’s watercolors reflect her love of nature.  Inspired by the beauty of the Ken Caryl Valley where she lives, scenes from her travels, or just the lazy repose of her two cats, she strives for a semblance of realism, while having  fun with the properties of different pigments and techniques. 

Primarily self-taught, she has enjoyed the opportunity to participate in workshops with artists such as Frank Francese and Michael Atkinson and continues her education in the arts by taking classes and workshops with local instructors.     

Gail has volunteered since 2006 as an art therapist for disabled adults with the DDRC (Developmental Disability Resource Center) and teaches art classes for the City of Lakewood's adult continuing education programs. She is the Community Outreach Manager for the Lakewood Arts Council and is a member of their Co-op Gallery.
