heathergabel's Profile

Bio

Heather Gabel was born in Windsor, Ontario in 1977. Painting and drawing since only a tiny child, she has never stopped. Heather has been active in the art community for years, exhibiting her photographs, paintings and collages in shows across the country.
Heather is moved to create visually fantastic situations that are not based in reality. Inspired by fancy grandmas, mossy trees, jaunty caps, prosthetic limbs, flowers, old movies and the overall grandeur of the past, she cleverly juxtaposes classic imagery with clean, stark lines and cutting irony. Experienced in many mediums, she combines painting, collage, and photography in a unique fashion to create iconic images that have a lasting visual impact on viewers.
She spends her free time making art, riding bikes to thrift stores, taking pictures, doing puzzles with her husband and baking in a fancy apron.
