Gailanne was born in Nova Scotia and moved to Alberta shortly after she turned 16.

Residing in Edmonton, Alberta, she attended Grant McEwan Community College. There she studied Visual Communications, earning her degree in 1992.

Gailanne always loved to draw and paint from a very young age. Her passion for manipulating color grew when she first started experimenting with oil paints. She then moved on to work with acrylic paint on canvas. Gailanne now occasionally uses both mediums in the same painting.

Over the years, she has painted everything from commercial and home wall murals, to abstract sceneries and portraits. In 2004, she worked with Krista Schlosser (founding President of the Creative Kids Museum) mentoring young artists in a collaborative art project for the Alberta’s Promise Annual Report. The following year, Gailanne donated a three piece Triptych painting depicting children exploring their artistic creativity, which is currently displayed in the Telus World of Science Centre/Creative Kids Museum in Calgary, Alberta.

Recently, Gailanne has had the opportunity to travel and reside in mainland China where she has been influenced by the beauty of the country. Her most recent work reflects her experiences from China.

Gailanne’s work is beautifully expressive and Rising Women is honored to have this opportunity to share her creative spirit with our readers.

Thank you Gailanne, it is a real pleasure to be reacquainted with you and to be able to support a friend and sister “artist” from college!
