Gail Dolphin is an artist with a deep passion for capturing the beauty of pets and nature through her paintings. With a last name like Dolphin, it seems almost destined that she would find herself drawn to the creative world. Based in the picturesque Vero Beach, Florida, Gail is inspired by the natural surroundings and vibrant wildlife that surround her.
Originally from the suburbs of Philadelphia, Gail graduated from Kutztown University in 1980 with a degree in Graphic Design and Illustration. However, she quickly realized that the fast-paced corporate advertising world was not where she belonged. Instead, she turned to showcasing her work at local shows focused on animals and wildlife, slowly building her art business over time.
Throughout her career, Gail has taken on various creative roles to support her artistic passion. From working as a Docent at the Philadelphia Zoo to running a horse boarding farm with her husband in Pennsylvania, she has gained invaluable skills and knowledge that have shaped her into the artist she is today. Living near the ocean and Indian River in Florida provides her with endless inspiration for her work.
Gail takes pride in taking her own reference photos and exploring the nature parks in Florida with her beloved Scottish Deerhound, Derby. Her paintings capture the essence of pets and nature in a way that is both beautiful and captivating. For those looking to bring a touch of nature into their homes or offices, Gail Dolphin's prints are the perfect choice.
