Susan Gale was born in Stephenville, Newfoundland in 1977, she studied painting at Nova Scotia College of Art and Design from 2000 to 2004 and received her BFA. Gale moved to Toronto in 2005 where she has been painting, exhibiting, and selling her work since graduating from NSCAD. Gale's work explores the nostalgia of community by highlighting the peaceful, quiet mystery of light and juxtaposing its nuance against the rush of visually invoked sensation. She evokes the senses by exploring images with manipulation of form, surface, and palette. With this intention, she exaggerates each painting's elements of color, framing, and texture and employs rich hues and playful pointillism. Gale’s work investigates the space between abstraction and representation and allows for a rich direct language of mark-making. Gale’s work has appeared in several home design TV shows, including Property Brothers. Her artwork has been collected throughout Canada and the US.
