Gael has been batiking for over twenty-nine years and is largely self-taught. She uses the traditional method of dye bath submersion. None of the dye is painted on. The materials are 100% cotton, beeswax and permanent procion dyes. Prints are made of the finished work either directly from the cloth or from a photograph. Batiks by Gael also has Gicleé prints available. They are done in archival ink and can be produced in sizes up to 24 by 36. Call or email for a quote. Gaels batiks and prints are featured at several Oregon galleries: In Her Image Gallery, Portland, Oregon Made in Salem, Salem, Oregon, Lunaria Gallery, Silverton, Oregon, Cliff Sharf Gallery, Sisters, Oregon, She has participated in the Folklife Festival in Seattle, and the Oregon Country Fair in Eugene, and at the Salem Arts and Crafts Fair in Salem. A unique aspect of Gaels batiking work is the full spectrum of color used. All final pieces have been boiled out four times at a minimum and usually many more times. Each time the wax is boiled out she can introduce a new primary color, and with overlaying of colors is able to achieve the entire color spectrum in each piece.
