Gayle Gerson has been teaching Mixed Media Art classes at the Art Center for over a decade. She has made the art museums of the world her study halls and loves to talk, teach, and think about art. She especially enjoys the medium of collage because it allows her to use the stuff of everyday life in the form the paper scraps, advertising, text and ephemera to embed evidence of our culture directly into the art pieces she creates. She considers herself an experimental artist and in her studio is always asking the question “What will happen if I do this?”

She is a signature member of the Colorado Watercolor Society and the Western Federation of Watercolor Societies and the National Collage Society. She is also a founding member of the Rocky Mountain Collage Society. Her work has been in many national juried shows and featured in Kolaj Magazine, Watercolor Artist, GV magazine, Incite-The Best of Mixed Media and on the cover of the UNESCO World Heritage Forest Report for 2011. She shows her work in many venues nation-wide and maintains a studio in Grand Junction, Colorado. Her art is in many private and public collections.
