GENE
GILL was born in Memphis, Tennessee and received his Bachelor of Fine Arts
Degree from The Chouinard Art Institute (now called The California Institute
of the Arts).
He
has exhibited widely in the Los Angeles area since 1970, in group shows
as well as in one-man exhibitions. His paintings and graphics are
included in the permanent collections of The Los Angeles County Museum
of Art, The Palm Springs Desert Museum, Container Corporation of America,
Atlantic Richfield Corporation, The Northrop Corporation, Home Savings,
and The Ronald Reagan Presidential Library.
In
addition to his career as an artist, Gene Gill was an art teacher with
the Los Angeles School District for 25 years. Always the avid traveler,
he began moving away from painting-printmaking in 1985 to building miniature
replicas of famous landmark buildings. He continues with this today.
