Gale Latuszek Joins Mark Creter To Shine A Light On The Passion Of Artists

Loading player...
In this episode, Mark Creter sits down with Gale Latuszek of Art By Gale to explore how art became both a passion and a path to healing. After years working in animal care and facing significant health challenges, Gale found comfort in painting—starting with a neighbor’s dog and growing into deeply personal pet portraits, many of which serve as meaningful memorials. She shares how emotion shapes her work, the difference between portraits and traditional paintings, and why capturing the spirit of animals is so special to her. Gale also discusses her involvement with the Appalachian Center for Craft, her “Golden Hour” series, and her efforts to give back by supporting Ripples Rescue through her artwork.
