Prior to changing her life and becoming a novelist, Gail had a successful career in 'corporate America' holding senior executive and upper management positions in several Fortune 500 and start-up corporations, while working and living extensively throughout the world.
After being married for twenty years, her husband, folk artist Art Poulin, unexpectedly passed away in 2018. During the transition that followed, Gail continued her own graphic design work and launched the AMPoulin brand which, through remastering, further extends Art's legacy.
