Gabby uses her chosen medium of painting to create fantasy still life images that depict the essence of being a young person and coming of age in an urban landscape through a queer lens. Her work focuses on using a diverse array of symbolic objects to depict themes of death and decay, hope and struggle, desire and longing.
