Gayle Reynolds
I moved to Sarasota in 1977 to attend Ringling College and USF, graduating in 1983.
I worked in the field of architecture and interior until 2018, mostly with architects and my design business, Gayle Reynolds Design Assoc.
I work with architectural drafting programs, Auto Cad, but most proficiently with the DATA CAD program.
I have always loved paintings and consider myself to be a hobby painter. My favorite medium is oil but I also like to paint with acrylics and watercolors.
Originally I was an abstract oil painter. Intuitively I would add more paint, movement, shape and texture to the work. As the piece developed, the color would bring me into the painting. My work was emotionally expressive, pressing my feelings out onto the canvas. Now, drawing with pastels my work is more about deliberate choices. My painting compositions reflect my stories about travel, love and family. My inspiration is derived from mother nature, learning and exploring the world outside myself as well as my internal journey of self-reflection.
