Who is GasBombGirl

Sandy Gaskett is GBG and lives on the coast of West Australia just outside of Perth/Fremantle.

What’s a GasBombGirl do

By trade I manage websites, but my true love is dabbling on the artistic frontier. I paint, draw, photograph and anything else I can fit in between.

Why “GasBombGirl ”

Do I really have to explain?! Actually it’s nothing to do with gaseous fumes emitting from you know where, (although many may object!) It’s all to do with my surname. It often gets shortened to “gas” and a tonne more I wont go on to mention.

But thanks to a bunch of fun loving buddys, all with a fine sense of warped humour, I have enjoyed having my name mutated into many different versions of hilarity. (Thanks guys!)

Any Formal Instruction

A little here and there, but no fancy shmancy degree’s. I’ve have been involved in lots of art courses throughout the years. I have taken a few courses at the Fremantle School of Art & Design (when it was around) & the Fremantle Arts Centre.
