Born in Greensboro, North Carolina, Gabrielle Edwards is a multifaceted artist with a passion for telling stories and creating immersive worlds. With a Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) in Drawing and Printmaking and a Master of Arts (MA) in Art and Design, Gabrielle has cultivated a rich educational background to complement her innate artistic abilities. This education serves as a foundation that informs her creative decisions, allowing her to navigate the complex interplay between tradition and innovation within the design realm.

Gabrielle’s work investigates the interplay between structure and spontaneity, asking: Can discipline and intuition coexist within the same visual language? What happens when the subconscious collides with form? Over the past three years, she has refined her craft through both artistic practice and design study, developing the technical fluency to pursue larger-scale work, push mark-making, and engage narrative complexity with greater intensity.

At the core of her practice is the tension between intuitive, gestural storytelling and structured, disciplined narrative. This dialogue drives her artworks, from compositions like Imagination Run Wild, where instinct and gesture guide the process, to The Guardian, where structured narratives dominate. Recurring symbols—knights, pathways, and doorways—serve as markers of both personal and universal significance, anchoring viewers within her imagined worlds.
