Gillian Stern is a DC based artist who has called the nation’s capital home for the past 2 years. Originally from North New Jersey, growing up- she developed an early passion for art. For college, she went to Robert Morris University outside the Pittsburgh area where she earned her BFA with a focus in graphic design.
Post college, Gillian's creative journey has taken her to New York City with various roles in working with creative agencies and digital advertising companies before settling in DC. During her time in New York she was more exposed to the art world where she would find the time to go to museums and gallery openings. This inspired her to focus on her own art and finding her style through abstract concepts.
In general, she is very curious about the environment and finds inspiration from the beauty and weirdness of nature. She creates her abstract art through found materials and has a passion for collecting discarded objects and arranging them in a way that creates a vibrant and beautiful piece. Most of her inspiration comes from the texture and shape of materials/objects that could turn into something unique.
