Gabbi Maria is a young Canadian artist, born in the town of Perth, Ontario. She graduated with a BFA from the Ontario College of Art and Design University in 2022 and works primarily with oil paint. During her study, she built a color-focused practice, with a specific interest in portraiture and magic realism. Upon the discovery and research of visionary artists such as Alex Grey Gabbi began using her work to explore the realm of spiritual presence. Fusing her own experiences with researched symbolism she continues to create her visual language for the world of the unseen. She has spent much of her professional career attending artist residencies abroad such as the Living In The Garden Artist Residency, Paros Greece, and the Lakkos Project Artist Residency in Heraklion Greece.
Gabbi has participated in several exhibitions, including “40 under 40” at the Joseph D. Carrier Art Gallery, and 
"The Years in Which I've Spoken to You" a solo exhibition held by 10C shared space.
