Gabby is consciously finding connection to the outside world through her camera lens. After snagging her brother’s old camera off the shelf while she was in college, Gabby found a way to translate something unspoken between us and the natural world. Her art has a way of showcasing both the grand and incredible scales in nature and the deeper moments in between.
Gabby offers an intimate relationship to the elements, one that has grown from observing it closely in true comfortability. Her photos offer a rare perspective that invites you to look between the lines of the Alaskan landscape grandeur and to find a vastness that captures the magic light, hidden breaths of air, and abstract depths that resonate in the being because they are somewhere there inside of us, too.

Meditation
Gabby’s resonance with the Buddha’s teachings came to light at age 15 when she first read The Art of Happiness by the Dalai Lama. At 19, time in monasteries and amongst lay-practitioners in Nepal led to further Buddhist study in college and the development of her personal practice.
Awakened to her own Buddhanature, she strives to reflect that awakening of inherent goodness in others. She is a certified Mindfulness Meditation teacher through MMTCP.
