Gail Simpson is a sculptor and public artist who works on projects individually and as part of Actual Size Artworks, a collaborative team with Aristotle Georgiades. She has an MFA in Sculpture from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and resides in Stoughton, Wisconsin. Her public art projects can be seen in locations from coast to coast nationally. She has also exhibited temporary projects around the United States and Europe. She teaches at the University of Wisconsin – Madison. Her sculptures are combinations of theme park figures, cartoon animals, and yard ornaments, that come from the human-built environment, with all of the strangeness, affection, and idiosyncrasy that we bring to it.
