Born in Boston, Massachusetts. Lives in Emeryville, California.

Amidst the harried go go go culture of today’s world, Bay Area artist Gail Tarantino takes the time to savor life. She is the rare individual who is astutely present in each moment; a necessary quality which she engages to contemplate the potential poetry -both visual and literal – in the things around her that most people overlook. Her body of work, which includes painting, drawing, photography and video, often incorporates clever word play and artfully reflects her sensitive observations.
