Welcome
My name is Adrienne Gale and I am a printmaker, paper maker, fiber artist, and book artist.
Generally, my deals with language, specifically etymology and the connections that exist between words through their histories. However, more recently I have become interested in the idea of "home" and our relationships with the space around us. Using my own visual symbols of trees, roots, eggs and nests, I explore language, text and space in a variety of media.
I live in my hometown of Hartford, Connecticut where I run a letterpress print shop, Hartford Prints!, which is supported by the City of Hartford Arts & Heritage Jobs Grant Program: Pedro E. Segarra, Mayor. Currently, I have three students from Hartford Public High School, my alma mater, as my employees. Together we make prints about and for the City of Hartford. You can learn more about Hartford Prints! at our blog.
Please take the time to view my art. I have tried to organize everything via tags, so hopefully if something sparks your interest, you can easily find other pieces that relate to it or are in the same media. For the most part, all of my work is for sale and you can contact me for prices. Mostly, though, this journal is an attempt to share my interpretation of the world around me with others.
All of the images posted here belong to me, as does the work they depict. Please, look through them, enjoy them, and feel free to ask me questions about them. However, please do not copy/share/repost, or reproduce etc. unless I give my express permission. Thank you.

I received my BFA in Painting from Boston University, and amy MFA in Book Arts/Printmaking at The University of the Arts in Philadelphia. After finishing my master's degree, I moved to Venice, Italy where I was the 2006-2008 Fellow at the Scuola Internazionale di Grafica. In addition to focusing on my own art at the Scuola, I taught book arts and printmaking to students from such institutions as Boston University, Connecticut College, and Indiana University. I also curated and coordinated the shows in the Galleria Sotoportego. Upon returning to the States in 2008, I became a resident artist at The University of Pennsylvania. In the spring of 2009, I taught a class at Penn titled Book Arts & Letterpress.
