Creating Authentic Connections
Through Community Engagement
I am a multidisciplinary artist, and avid advocate for community healing through the expressive arts.
Hello! I’m Gabbi, an independent and multidisciplinary artist. I have a knack for facilitating workshops in groups, and encouraging growth in artists’ relationship to themselves. To do this I utilize my robust caregiving, community leadership and service background– prioritizing intention, curiosity and safety for the populations I serve. I am interested in improving public art programs, accessibility to art therapy in wellness / housing facilities and encouraging more expression in schools. Recently, I completed a certification in a visual arts and writing process from The Open Studio Project in Evanston IL and facilitate healing workshops around the Chicagoland Area and online overseas.
My personal projects include pursuing publication for a series of children’s books which I’ve written and illustrated, performing live in puppet and musical theatre, as well as growing in my experience facilitating larger therapeutic art events.
