Through botanical art, Gail Bissell has combined two of her life passions: art and nature. At the fifth annual Custer Buffalo Stampede Art Auction, Bissell will put her botanical art with a buffalo flair on display.      Bissell was born and raised in Custer. After living in Montana for 17 years, she moved back to the Hills. She has always had a love of nature and wildlife. Hiking and gardening provide endless hours of gathering and pressing all kinds of flowers and leaves.
