MARILOY G. GALLÉ

Bio: Mariloy G. Gallé was born in New Orleans and grew up in a typical shotgun-style house off Esplanade Avenue.  She married her high school sweetheart and, after the birth of their second child, moved to Belle Chasse, Louisiana.  Ever busy with four children and a career as a legal assistant, Mariloy always found time to draw and sketch, even if it was Ninja Turtles or Little Mermaids.

Training: She eventually was able to acquire a more formal training in her passion - watercolor!  This formal training began in San Diego and was further refined under  watercolor masters such as Terry Madden and Tony Couch.  Mariloy has also studied at the New Orleans Academy of Fine Arts.

Credentials: She is a certified, third level, Susan Scheewe Instructor in watercolor.

Distribution: Mariloy has sold hundreds of paintings in her career as a watercolor artist and her paintings hang in private collections in the Dominican republic, France, Japan, Mexico as well as throughout  the United States.  

Local: Mariloy also has paintings hanging at the World Trade Center in New Orleans and in the Jefferson Parish Courthouse.  

In Her Words: Mariloy would "like to share a small sample of this watercolor adventure with you, and I hope you enjoy it."
