I have always appreciated every art form, whether it's music, painting, filmmaking, etc. This connection comes from my own artistically diverse family. My grandfather, Paul Robi, was one of the founding members of the 1950's singing group, The Platters. My mother grew up in the music business by eventually managing and singing for The Platters. Music has always been a form of connecting for my family which led me to play electric bass for the past 10 years, and now pursuing audio editing. My grandmother, Martha Robi, met my grandfather in her hometown of Buenos Aires, Argentina. Here she grew up painting landscapes with her father of his own hometown of Vigo, Spain. My grandmother sparked my passion for classic movies, aesthetics, and fashion. I get my painting skills from her and still use her favorite oil paints to this day. My family supplied a strong base for me to feel free to try new things, and I am happy to carry this adventurous attitude into my artistic endeavors and into my career. 

Gabrielle’s art will be on display at Project Social throughout September.
