==Education and early life==
Born in Chandigarh, India, Gauri Gill received her BFA in Applied Art at the Delhi College of Arts in New Delhi, India. She earned her BFA in Photography at the Parsons School of Design, New York in 1994, and MFA in Photography at Stanford University in 2002.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://art.stanford.edu/exhibitions/gauri-gill-americans-exhibition|title=Stanford University|last=|first=|date=|website=|publisher=|access-date=}}</ref>

==Work and career==

In ''The Americans'' (2000-2007) she photographed her family and friends across the Indian diaspora in America.<ref name="GillN.Y.)2008">{{cite book |author1=Gauri Gill |author2=Bose Pacia |author3=Nature Morte Gallery |author4=Matthieu Foss Gallery |author5=Stanford Art Gallery |author6=Chicago Cultural Center |title=Gauri Gill: The Americans|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=ZuQ-kgEACAAJ|year=2008|publisher=Nature Morta}}</ref>

A decade-long study of marginalized communities in rural Rajasthan called ''Notes from the Desert'' (1999 –ongoing) has resulted in individual exhibitions and projects such as ''The Mark on the Wall, Jannat, Balika Mela, Birth Series'' and ''Ruined Rainbow''.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.mercurynews.com/ci_27477962/review-photography-exhibitions-from-india-and-mideast|title=Review: Photography exhibitions from India and Mideast|website=www.mercurynews.com|access-date=2016-03-04}}</ref> Of this work, she says, "The girls who come to the fair have an urge to know. Those who stepped into my photo tend also wished to portray themselves, as they are, or as they see themselves, or to invent new selves for the camera. Their attempts may have been tentative or bold, but this book may be seen as a catalogue of that desire."<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://in.blouinartinfo.com/news/story/828212/gauri-gill%E2%80%99s-new-book-is-a-chapter-on-the-art-of-portraiture|title=Blouin Artinfo on Gauri Gill|last=|first=|date=|website=|publisher=|access-date=}}</ref>
