A graduate of Emily Carr University, Gabrielle’s practice is split between painting, ceramics and more recently public art. Originally from the coast, she draws inspiration from dramatic overcast skies and themes of water, which reoccur throughout her practice. In 2015, the Caetani Centre’s very first ceramics artist residency (CeramAiR) brought Gabrielle to Vernon, where she since has made her home permanently. In 2017 Gabrielle was awarded a major public art commission by the Government of Canada, City of Vernon and Downtown Vernon Association to commemorate Canada’s 150th anniversary, whereby she enlisted the community to help create a winding river mosaic that was successfully installed in downtown Vernon’s Cenotaph Park. More recently, Gabrielle’s solo show “Down Came the Rain” is on exbibit at Gallery Vertigo this June, 2020.
