Artist, Gabrielle (Gabby)
When other children dreamed of being a firefighter or veterinarian. I only ever wanted to be an artist. Thankfully, my parents encouraged my interest in the Arts. In college, I enjoyed learning the human form through figure drawing. My college years are cherished because I was surrounded by so much creative energy and I loved being around other artists. They inspired me to try other mediums and approaches when I created. I chose Illustration as my major.

​I enjoy illustrating books for independent authors and bringing their characters to life. I currently freelance as a graphic designer, teach art classes and make mixed media art incorporating paint, textiles, found objects and jewelry design.
