Gail M. Glotzer, artist is a native of Rogers Park and Edgewater. She brings a style of painting that is indicative of the Self-Taught Outsider art movement.
Predominately, each figure is painted without a face. This allows a modesty of being and a universal perspective. These characters cry out for definition. Gail uses acrylic paint, which opaques and the colors are bright and up-lifting. Always emotional and thought-provoking, her subjects are intimate as she takes images of family scenes and domestic relevance.
Glotzer is the author of Mania and Other Stories. This book approaches the delicate subjects of mental illness and the stigma that occurs in our society.
