Completely absorbed in anything to do with art, digital art, graphics and web design.

I've been teaching Photoshop and Illustrator in the New Media and Web Development program but just moved to Prince Edward Island, so will be looking for a new job in Charlottetown.

Regarding Use of My Graphics

You are allowed to use it on your blog or website (for non-commercial use), provided you include a link back to my flickr gallery or to my main website www.thegraphicgroove.com .

For any other uses of my art, please contact me by email in advance, and provided the intended use is for something positive and non-commercial, and with a link posted to my website along with my name, I will likely give permission.

Please Note! I do not allow my art to be altered, ie: not used for PSP tubes, gifs, puzzles, stationary or have bits and pieces added. I do not allow it to be used in collages or in Polyvore sets. The reason for this is that it changes the original meaning of the art and people become confused as to who created it.

I always love to hear from other digital art enthusiasts and enjoy communicating with others who are using Flash Actionscript 3!

    "What can I say about Gale's work. It is truly inspirational. She truly stands out from the crowd and has the vision to capitaviate you instantly with her work. I truly feel that I have been catapulted into another mystical world where vibrance and saturation of colour are the norm."

    "Vous en reviez? La Fée Gale l'a fait ! ! !

    Gale est une fée...
    une fée qui d'un coup de baguette numérique recrée un monde poétique, fantasmagorique où le rêve et la poésie jouent des formes et des couleurs pour nous enchanter...
    Gale est une fée de l'image...
    Si j'étais éditeur je lui ferais un contrat en or massif pour illustrer des contes de fées, des livres, des CD, des affiches...
    Gale a certainement rencontré Merlin et elle lui a dérobé quelques secrets...
    Gale vous êtes M.A. G.I.Q.U.E
    Voila
    From le Yeti totalement enchanté et quasi envouté !!!

    "Gale is a hero to me! What an incredible combination of artist and humanist ready to deal with our realities. Her visions, as expressed here, are both powerful and filled with tender beauty. Her soul has some rare facets which I am so happy to have seen. I feel privileged each time I see her art, and learn more about her."

    "I'm not sure how I discovered Gale's work, but when I first saw it, I was stunned! The sheer beauty and creativity of her images immediately took me into a mythical world of castles and fairies and knights in shining armor... a world of innocence and love, good and evil. Thank you, thank you, thank you, for taking me from the mundane world of a desk and computer screen and transporting me into your world of fantasy!"

    Randy Craig Photography says:

    "Dear Gale... The amount of time and effort that you put into your pieces is a testament to the dedication that you have for your art. Your ability to first imagine and then draw together a complex composition from so many individual pieces, and to seamlessly tie them together, is truly a gift. The transformation from the original elements is phenominal!

    One particular work of yours, "Midnight Bathe" www.flickr.com/ph..., is special to me. So comprehensive were your efforts in creating that piece of art that, if I hadn't been involved in sending some of the original photos to you, I don't know that I would have recognized any of the original pieces in your finished product. I feel very honored to have contributed in even a small way and would eagerly do so again.

    I wish you much success, many more happy interactions, and I look forward to seeing much more of your art."

    "Galey's work is visionary. To me, that means she finds the beautiful depth in all life's moments, both bitter and sweet, and transforms them into stunning works of Art. Her graphics are doorways into the way she imagines life to be, and by dreaming it, makes it come alive for the rest of us.

    And, if this were not enough, she is absolutely unselfish. Not just with her tutorials, which she freely shares, but with the hours of deep effort she takes to please a flickr friend she might not even know very well. That's beyond Art, that's passion for people.

    She loves people. Period. She loves life. Her heart is even larger than her talent, and this, as you all know by now, is saying much. A dear friend. Always. Thanks so much for everything, Galey! :-D"

    "There are lot's of great photographers on Flikr, but there are few artists of Gale's caliber. Gale is more than happy to show you how she does a piece, but there is a level of artistry required that eludes me.

    If there is anything good in a picture, it will catch her attention first. There is also a warmth to her and her pictures that will cover you like a blanket."

    "Gale's acquaintace and her work has been a delightful find for me.

    Very talented in graphics and quick witted in her interactions, Gale brings ideal elements to make a community like Flickr big fun.

    She is a great graphic artist too. While her digital creations are not entirely up my street, I can appreciate the sensitivity and skill she invests there. Of course, her eclectic collection of photos are not just technically good but have the magical ingredient - human energy and emotions.

    Visitors to her photostream are surely in for a treat.

    Nice having you here in Flickr, Gale. Keep shooting."
