According to her parents, Connie Gabbert began drawing at age two, and she never really stopped. In her junior year of high school, Connie attended the Rhode Island School of Design’s pre-college program, which solidified her love of art. Since then, her passion has led her from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, where she spent a year as a fine arts major, to Cornish College of the Arts in Seattle, where she studied illustration and earned her BFA in design. Raised in Ashland, Connie is thrilled to be back in Oregon, and spends her free time drawing, and hanging out with her husband.
