"Artist, Gail Stoops" by Lisa Alvarado
In celebration of the arts and the Fayetteville Film Festival, I would like to invite you to attend
my first premiere of "Artist, Gail Stoops" video this Saturday at 11:00am at the U of A Continuing Education Building on the Fayetteville Square. Tickets are $10 for the all day event including workshops. (I also will be teaching a 2-D Flash Animation workshop at 9am.)
"Artist, Gail Stoops" was one year in the making and was a "work of heart". When I met Gail I was studying Digital Media at John Brown University. I felt her story was so compelling and heart-wrenching that I wanted to do my first documentary about her. I am also an artist and mother of four children so felt a certain connection with Gail. While producing this film, I came to know this extraordinary woman who loves life and those around her. Her story has helped a lot of people get through some tough times. Her artwork is delightful and exhilarating.
"Artist, Gail Stoops"

Film Festival time: 11:15am
Gail is a woman whose has life has been gripped by personal tragedy. Gail lost her youngest son in a job-related accident. Almost three years later, her middle son died in a unexpected accident. Gail was overwhelmed with the unbearable thought of continuing her life without two of her four children. Before her youngest son died, he suggested that she paint. His death spurred her to pick up a paint brush. Art became her medium to express her grief. Gail Stoops’ life was renewed by a decision to paint. Now Gail shares her talents with other artists who paint with her. Gail's newest series of "Charlotte's Fantasy World" is delightful, playful, and a little bit sassy. Gail reveals some of herself in these paintings.
