Emergence: Creativity, Illness and Healing

Bringing awareness to invisible disability, this exhibition depicts various stages of Gail Wallinga’s healing journey from Lyme disease. In paintings and sculptural installations, she demonstrates beauty and how meaningful creations can emerge from arduous experiences.

About the Artist:
GAIL WALLINGA is a queer artist living with disability. She was born and raised in a suburb of St. Paul, Minnesota and has always been a maker.
