02DawsonGail Dawson received her M.F.A. from the University of Texas at Austin in 2000 and taught as a Lecturer there and at Texas State University for two years. She has received grants from the Dallas Museum of Art and the City of Austin; had solo and several two person shows; and has been included in curated group shows in Austin, Dallas, San Antonio, and Houston, Texas.

In Fall 2003, Gail began a tenure-track appointment to teach painting and new media at San Francisco State University, where she is also developing a digital media lab for the painting area. Dawson’s work explores the interference of media with images, and time and motion. She works between mediums translating video to paintings and drawings, and paintings and drawings to video.
