Meet the Artist!
Do you love all things nature? What about outdoor adventure sports? Foraging? Are you maybe a little witchy? A lot witchy? Sometimes drawn to symbolism and searching for meaning in everything? Do you love pretty things but also curse a lot? Kind of want to be dropped into that 70s show but also deeply feel like you missed out on what it would be like to live in the world of Bridgerton? Are you your own fantastic blend of grumpy sunshine? Well... you're in good company. Welcome home darlin'! We're all mad here.
My Story
Hi! I'm Gaby, the owner of and independent creator for Gecko Ridge Graphics! My entire world revolves around working and playing outside, as well as the constant pursuit of creative outlets. Having grown up on the Gulf Coast and then moving to the Tennessee/North Carolina mountains on my own after high school, my love of all things outside has always been a defining part of my personality! Backpacking, kayaking, canoeing, rock climbing, trail running, foraging, surfing you name it! I LOVE IT! So much so that I have two degrees in what I like to call "playing outside and teaching others how to play outside". However, no matter what point in my journey I've been in, I've always turned back to my art as a constant in my life to keep me grounded...whether that be tattoo designs for friends here and there, sketching in the margins of random notebooks, making my own bullet journal spreads, painting skateboard decks, or making custom logos, stickers and prints for people!
​
Gecko Ridge Graphics is something that has been a long time coming. I've noticed over the years that there's a common theme across all of my commissions and personal work, and its the joining of nature and art together. All commissions and my personal work is heavily rooted in intentionality and symbolism so that every client, viewer, and supporter is able to derive meaning and attachment to a particular product. There is beauty and depth in the simplest and smallest of things if we only know how to search for it. My goal is to create personal and unique designs and pieces for every person that comes across my work. I want your interests, hardships and stories to be told in ways you're proud to showcase.
​
We'll get a little groovy...We'll get a little witchy... We'll play in the wildflowers, the woods and the water... maybe we'll find some wild little critters along the way... But the thing I'll do the most, is listen to what you want and make it a reality. Follow me on instagram and subscribe to my email list so you can stay up to date on new products and projects! If you need some custom work done, don't hesitate to reach out for a quote and we can work together to bring your ideas to life!

Cheers & Happy Trails!
