Gail Griggs emerged as a notable voice in the Chicago art scene through her contribution to the "Screen Prints 1970" portfolio. This ambitious project, a collaboration between the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and the Advance Screen Company, brought together seventy-four artists to explore the technical possibilities of the medium. Griggs worked alongside influential figures such as Ed Paschke and Karl Wirsum, marking her place within a significant chapter of mid-western printmaking history. Her practice is defined by the graphic precision of the screenprinting process, most notably captured in her work titled Baby Rug. This piece earned a place in the permanent collection of the Art Institute of Chicago, cementing her legacy within the institution's storied archives. While her broader exhibition history remains largely private, her technical skill remains a testament to the experimental spirit of the 1970s Chicago art community.

Visual voice

Griggs utilizes the bold, flat planes of color characteristic of early 1970s screenprinting to create graphic compositions. Her work reflects the collaborative energy of the SAIC printmaking department, focusing on tactile patterns and saturated ink applications.
