Each week on Arts Unleashed, our host Ellen Cottrill talks to buzz worthy artists about buzz worthy art. This week, Ellen talks to Gail Beveridge from Gail Beveridge Fine Art. Gail was fortunate to grow up in a time and place that allowed her great freedom to explore the world around her. As a young teenager living outside of Philadelphia, she and her best friend would often venture into the city to spend the entire day at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, marveling at the all the great works of art within its cavernous galleries. Her art appreciation was further piqued be being exposed to a variety of art media throughout her school years, something lacking in today’s public schools. Art is Gail’s outlet for expression and has guided her through life, first with a career in interior design and subsequently as a sculptor and now a painter. The Jacksonville Arboretum & Gardens and First Coast Plein Air Painters will host the 2019 A Brush with Nature, a Plein Air painting event, on Saturday, March 30 and Sunday, March 31 at the Jacksonville Arboretum.
