Working with musicians worldwide, Gayle has created a unique niche for her premier guitar straps, offering styles that range from understated to complex, and delicate to dynamic. Each one is meticulously handcrafted at her private art studio located in the greater Nashville area. Here innovative ideas combine with fine and exotic leathers which emerge into exquisite works of art. Gayle's years of experience and design skills combine with her love of authentic ideas, facilitating ongoing creativity. These finely crafted guitar and bass straps, and her mixed media art, can be ordered through the online store, calling the studio directly, or by email at gaylewinde@gmail.com.
One-of-a-kind, ready to ship straps periodically are available and will be in the online store in a dedicated section. These guitar and bass straps are titled, numbered, signed and dated and come with a detailed description/story behind each unique design.
This year we're thrilled to introduce Gayle's "Mixed Media Art" to the website. Artwork that inhabits the space of inspiration and vision, combining various materials in both shape and form, with delicate and powerful beauty! These meaningful expressions of artful moments include paintings, and collaged artworks where leather emerges in an entirely new expression! Sculptural interpretations and smaller artworks will also be included. This new category of art has been a work in progress for several years, and introducing it to you is truly exciting! As we build this new website page, it will grow in diversity of artwork.
