Gayla Trail - 23 April 2007

Gayla Trail is an accomplished designer, writer, and photographer with a background in the Fine Arts, cultural criticism, and ecology. Gayla is the creator of the popular gardening project, You Grow Girl http://www.yougrowgirl.com and the author of You Grow Girl: The Groundbreaking Guide to Gardening.

Gayla’s work as a photographer is informed by both her passion for gardening and the natural world and her childhood experiences growing up in Southern Ontario. At its heart, her work is expressive and evocative of emotions tied to locations and the nuances of human presence. Many of the photos she creates serve as self-portraits – reflections of her filtered by a sense of shared history. See http://www.makinghappy.com.
