Artist Biography
Gail Pidduck (born 1950) is a painter living in Santa Paula, California. She generally paints what surrounds her studio: mountains, fields, orchards, birds, animals, and the people who work nearby. Pidduck grew up in Santa Paula, attending local schools. She worked summers during college in the flower fields of a local seed company, an experience which inspired Gail towards her now signature paintings of field workers and the rural landscape of Ventura County.
Pidduck earned a B.A. in Art from Brigham Young University in Utah. After college, Pidduck returned to Santa Paula where she raised three children and continues to paint to this day. Gail's 2016 exhibition "One Look at Nature" at the Santa Paula Art Museum was one of the Museum's most popular exhibitions, and Pidduck will present a second solo show at SPAM in the fall of 2024. Pidduck's work can be found in many private and public collections, including the Santa Paula Art Museum and the City of Ventura Municipal Art Collection.
