English artist Gayle Mason works mainly in coloured pencil, acrylic or pastel.  Gayle's work recently won an award for the artist ' whose paintings will catch the eye, and stand out from the crowd with their quality'.  She says "'I have a deep love and respect for all animals and am usually surrounded by my own Rough Collies as I paint. I try to produce work that captures the 'special something'  that each individual animal possesses. If I am working on a pet portrait I want the owner to feel they have a permanent reminder of a moment  in their pets life."

Gayle's originals and limited edition prints are held in private collections throughout Europe, Canada, the USA, Australia, New Zealand and Russia. Her 'up close and personal' series of cats have proved to be very popular.  'Eye Spy' was the best selling print for the K2 gallery at the 2005 Autumn Fair held at the  NEC

She is currently developeding her new ventures of wildlife art and equine art as well continuing to add to her portfolio of dog breeds.   Gayle is an Associate Member of the Society of Feline Artists and an elected Companion of the International Guild of Artists. She lives with her husband, two sons and a crowd of Collies in Yorkshire, England.
