We also touched on how she ended up studying the Edinburgh College of Art and her relationship with colour has affected her artwork. - Gabi currently also works at the Royal Botanics in Edinburgh so we had a wee chat about all the great things that go on there! - Find Gabi on Instagram at @gabriellegillott Keep up to date with the podcast and see all images discussed at: @curatingconversation  and find me and the gallery at  @the_rafiki_gallery Thanks for listening!<a rel="payment" href="https://www.patreon.com/curatingconversation">Support the show</a>

We talk to interesting people leading the way in the creative industries to find out how they got there, why they do it and what other people might learn from them. From artists, curators, actors and musicians to professors, freelancers, and technicians there are so many roles that fit in with being creative. We have these conversations to understand their passions from a different perspective and hopefully come away a bit wiser than we went in! Every episode features a new guest, having a relaxed, fun chat and sharing their experiences, enjoy! These conversations are hosted (usually) by the Creative Director of Rafiki Studio and The Rafiki Gallery, Leo Sartain.
