Biography:
As an only child, Gail Sauter moved often with her family (her father was in the military). Living in different cultures and in many parts of the United States has given her an insight into the universality of people around the world. This is an important thrust of her work today and she travels extensively while painting on location.
"I want to capture and hold a unique and fleeting moment in time. To make it real so that anyone can relate to it and envision themselves being a part of it. It is in the experience of sharing such moments that we can discover something for ourselves"
Sauter says.
Sauter obtained a BFA in painting from the University of Oklahoma and now works professionally in oils and pastels since the early seventies, and she's been awarded the honorary distinctions of Master Pastelist from the Pastel Society of America, and full Artist status by the Copley Society of Boston. Sauter has held fellowship residencies at the Virginia Center for Creative Arts, the Vermont Studio Colony, the Atlin Art Center, British Columbia, and I Park in Connecticut. She is also listed in Who's Who in American Art and her work has been published in two books (The Best of Pastel 2 and L'Art du Pastel). Her paintings have been exhibited across the nation and in Canada, Great Britain,Italy, France, and Russia.
