Gail Buono received a BFA in Painting from The School of Visual Arts, in New York City. She has received two painting fellowships and a “Distinguished Artist Award” from the NJ State Council on the Arts. She painted in Italy for 15 months, with a solo show in Pisa, before returning to the U.S. Her paintings were used as sole set for two one-act plays by the Rivoli Stage Co., at the William Carlos Williams Art Center (in conjunction with a solo show), in Rutherford, NJ, and at the Westbeth Theatre Center, in Manhattan. Four of her paintings were selected for a university circuit tour, “The Enduring Presence (New York Abstraction)”. She moved to the Santa Fe area in mid-2006. In 2012, she was chosen by Peter Frank, the L.A. art critic, as a juror honoree in the “New Mexico Showcase” at 516 Arts, in Albuquerque.
