This octogenarian has been a fixture in the art world since the 1950s. Recently honored with a book about career published by Radford University in Virginia, Gillespie divides her time between studios in New York City and Orlando. She usually is involved with a monumental project the last of which was for Meredith Publishing Corp. in Des Moines, where she suspended 300 of her famous explosions of color made from cut aluminum stripes coated in enamel. The four story atrium provides for the pieces to move slighty as well.
She is just as happy creating a small table top sculpture or a wall mounted piece. Her imagination never ends. Represented in scores of public collections she has had four exhibitions at this gallery in addition to dozens at museums and other galleries around the country.
