As a small child with a big imagination and not much else in the way of material possessions, Gail Knecht learned the value of being versatile and thinking out of the box. That creativity led to the artist she is today. Common or discarded items became treasures and the catalyst for her art creations. Old cartons, buttons, bird nests, pine cones, broken jewelry, etc. were the items her creations were made of.

As she grew her talents grew with her. Blossoming into accomplished artist of many mediums such as paint, sculpture, jewelry, crafts and poetry, she was able to open a jewelry, gallery and gift shop in California.

Now, here at Art Works, her dream is to continue to share her passion with all of you.
