a unique ability to capture facial expressions and body language in her sculptures,
which relate a statement or attitude. They are not just clay or bronze...they
are saying something.

commissioned to create two bronze statues which were installed in the city of
Escondido, CA. One 3/4 life size female bronze in a reclining position (June 2005)
and one full size standing female bronze (January 2006). She has also been commissioned
to create three life size bronze statues for a Military Tribute in Escondido in
2007.
Gale commissioned artist
James T. Hubbell to design a new home. She and her husband have recently completed
4 years of construction and officially moved-in on September 19, 2005. She loves
sculpture and has created many art items, which were integrated into their home.
She says, "I am actually living in a piece of sculpture".
