Bio

GAIL LEHMAN lives and works in Carmel By The Sea, California.  Born in New York City she spent her childhood and young adult years on the East coast, attending Cornell University and Harvard College, majoring in Government and Design. As an Architectural Designer, she completed 2.5 million sq. ft. of high-rise commercial offices and hospitals. Subsequently a progression to painting and abstract expressionism has led to her emergence as an artist of merit.  Her work has been acquired by collectors across 12 U.S. cities and 4 European countries.  In 2013, her painting, “The Lady in Red” was donated to Marywood University in Scranton, Pennsylvania by one of her collectors to honor the memory of his grandmother. A commissioned painting for a scholarship to be funded by the collector, in his Mother’s honor, will be installed next to the first painting.  In 2023, she was one of 300 finalists for the Crocker-Kingsley exhibition selected among 2,500 applicants.
