Silk-Painter/Fabric Designer
Specializing in Silk and Velvet Accessories and Yardage
Born in Europe to artistic parents, Gabriele, herself, became an
award-winning oil painter.
By the time she arrived in the United States, at age nine, she knew that she
wanted to become an artist, and never wavered from that dream.
Her mission with her art is to "add luscious colors and sensual
textures to your wardrobe."™
She switched mediums after leafing through a silk-painting book she intended
to buy for a friend. Gabriele knew immediately that this was what she had to
do! The book went home with her, and the friend was given something else for
Christmas.
That was in 1996 and she has never gone back to her oils.
Gabriele describes painting on silk: "When the brush touches the silk and the dyes begin to flow, the feeling is
as delicious as cake frosting or a baby's kiss!"
