GAIL LYNN

presented by Majid Ejlali

Gail graduated from Oglethorpe University in Atlanta with a Bachelor of Science degree in Chemistry and was a member of the University’s Presidents’ Council for years.  She always had creative inclinations and was an avid photographer, shooting thousands of photos from many trips she enjoyed.

 Gail and Majid began their journey together in 2009 when she attended his seven-day watercolor workshop for Rhodes Scholars. But Gail’s journey as an artist began long before then.  Gail studied Chinese painting (a style of watercolor using delicate washes and expressive, calligraphy-like strokes, often on rice paper) in Atlanta and Asia, becoming accomplished enough to have her work exhibited in Atlanta’s High Museum of Art!

Though we lost Gail to cancer in April of 2024, she left a vibrant rainbow of watercolor flowers and landscapes, presented for display by her loving husband and teacher, Majid.  The exhibit showcases Gail’s collection of Chinese watercolors as well as her venture into more traditional watercolor styles and subjects.

Her work will be on display through November.
