Gaby B
Hello! I'm Gaby. I'm from Charlottesville, Va. I'm a 23 year old artist and student, pursuing my BA in graphic design. I've been painting since I could hold a brush, and it's still my favorite thing to do. I also like to illustrate and design clothing and tattoos. Once I graduate I want to do a tattoo apprenticeship, illustrate book covers, and start my own small business upcycling thrifted clothing. When I'm not doing art I'm usually hanging out with my husband and two cats, cooking, watching sci-fi, doing yoga, or listening to audio books.
