Gabriella Giaconia is an artist and art educator based in Brooklyn, NY. She has been creating and making things since as long as she can remember, and always knew she wanted to be an artist. Growing up, she vividly remembers being surrounded by handmade things, whether that was embroidery pieces made by her mom, intricately made wooden furniture from her grandfather, or homemade baked goods from her grandmother.

After earning a BFA in Fine Arts and minor in Art Histroy from the Fashion Institute of Technology, she earned an MAT from The School of Visual Arts in Art Education, and has been a public school elementary art teacher in New York City since 2015. When she began teaching, her own art practice fell to the wayside. In the last few years, she has recommitted to her own art and has since shown work in multiple group shows around New York.

Her abstract work explores relationships of colors, layers, texture, and lines and forms from nature. She regularly creates figurative art and collages as well.

Gabriella believes deeply that art is for everyone, that we are all creative beings, and if collectively we carved out even a small amount of time for creative practices and rituals, the world would be a better place. She currently creates from her small home art studio and hopes to become a full time artist in the next few years.
