Gale Rodriguez is a Houston born Salvadoran-Mexican interdisciplinary storyteller. She investigates the tangibility of words in biblical parables and the full-body conviction present within Southern Latin Pentecostal worship. Her tumultuous feelings regarding this upbringing are anthropomorphized as characters that exist alongside her in a fictional universe called "The Should've, Could've, Would've Garden". Motifs of home, words, and environment pull, push, trip and tangle, puppeteering Gale's actions.
Ultimately, the interpersonal episodic narratives found in Gale's painting, soft sculpture and comic making, illustrates her cognitive struggle between indestructible body, religion and identity.Gale is currently pursuing her MFA in Illustration as a Distinguished Artist Fellow at the University of Massachusetts- Dartmouth. She received her BFA in painting from the University of Houston in 2023 and an Associate of Fine Arts from San Jacinto College in 2020.
Gale was an Artist in Residence at Cow House Studios, Enniscorthy, Ireland, in 2024. Their work has been featured in solo and two-person exhibitions including it will always be, you and me at San Jacinto College North Gallery, Houston, Texas (2024), and The Apple is Still a Part of the Tree at Third Space Gallery, Houston, Texas (2023).
