bio

Gabrielle graduated from the School of Visual Arts with her BFA in 2019. Working across watercolor, drawing, and video, her practice centers on biographical themes that invite both a deeper understanding of the artist and a moment of personal introspection. Recent exhibitions include "LO QUE ES IGUAL, NO ES VENTAJA" at Galeria Tiro Al Blanco, Guadalajara (2025), HARPER'S HOLIDAY at Harper's Chelsea, New York (2024), Acid Garden at Charles Moffett Gallery, New York (2022), and The Privilege of Getting Together Vol.II at Anna Zorina Gallery, New York (2021). Her work has also been shown at the SVA Chelsea Gallery as part of the juried alumni exhibition Wavelengths, and at Studio 1609, Brooklyn. Gabrielle is co-founder of Art Interlude, a social founded with Shirley Lai to foster genuine connections among members of the art world. Recent press includes a profile in Hyperallergic's "A View From The Easel" and an interview unpacking her piece "Acid Gardens."
