Ann Gale (born 1966) is an American figurative painter based in Seattle, Washington. She is known

for her portrait paintings, which consist of an accumulation of small color patches expressing the changing light and the shifting position of her models over time. Some of her main influences are Lucian Freud, Alberto Giacometti, and Antonio López García.[1]

Gale works from live models and her process is lengthy. Once she begins to paint, she works for three-hour sessions,

John Simon Guggenheim Fellowship (2007).[3] The artist's work has been shown in galleries and museums across the United States including solo exhibitions at the Portland Art Museum, Portland, Oregon (2007) and the Weatherspoon Art Museum at The University of North Carolina at Greensboro (2008). Gale is a professor of painting at the University of Washington School of Art. She is married to the classical guitarist and composer Michael Nicolella.[citation needed
