Gabrielle Guarnero

Seattle, WA, USA
Ever since I was little I could never go for any extended period without drawing. In classes or meetings to this day I find myself doodling elaborately in the margins of my notes. While I have chosen professionally to pursue a career in marketing I can never abandon art; and while I don't intend to pursue it as my vocation, having the extensive and ongoing background in art that I have will invariably help me in any profession where creative thinking is required.
