Gil was recently featured in Hi-Fructose Vol. 48. “Thirsty” kicks off at the gallery on March 8.

“Throughout my career I have always been a painter of narrative escapism, with my work evoking personal connections for each individual viewer,” Gil says of her work. “Because it is executed in a surreal way, it allows the viewer to create their own story and meaning.” See more of Gil’s work from this show below.
