The Creatrix

Brooke Gavelle resides in Northwest Montana, where the land tickles her imagination and is intrinsic to her creations. Her reverence for the natural world invites her to pick up the paintbrush and witness not just the physical manifestation but the whimsical aspects, too.

Sometimes she paints what she sees; sometimes she paints to see.

She is a self-taught artist with only two years of formal training under her belt at the Las Vegas Academy of Arts highschool. Oil painting is her main devotion, though her side quests take her into the domains of coppersmithing, jewelry making, sculpting, and leatherworking.

As a child, she would draw pages upon pages of spirals, which she later recognized in the sequences of the natural world. Her signature pays homage to the intrinsic spirals.

Life is a balance. Body, mind, spirit. Each must come into harmony in order to create truly and freely. Through dance, yoga, and performing aerial silks, she finds strength and joy in her body. Through ingesting local produce, foraging, gardening, and hunting, she feeds her gut and mind. Through curiosity of plants, planets, and mysticism, she enhances her spirit. With bare feet on the earth, the scent of wildflowers, and the witnessing of leaves dancing in the wind, she roots herself into the creative muse.
