Gayle Friedman (1962) is a self-taught mixed media artist who grew up in Birmingham, Alabama. Her art frequently zeros in on inherited, collected, and found objects that others no longer want or find useful. She is interested in revealing the hidden and seeks a deeper understanding of who we are and the places we inhabit.
Friedman is the recipient of several Artist Fellowship Grants from the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities. In addition to her individual studio practice, Friedman is a contemporary jeweler. She lives and works in the Metro DC area.
Gayle makes her residency at Can Serrat during the month of May 2023.
