He came to love scenic art when first working at Knott’s Scary Farm as a scenic artist in the year 2000.

The caliber of his work has propelled him to work with nationally renowned Directors and Designers. Along with advancing the field of Scenic Painting, Gabriel, is leading initiatives to diversify and create inclusion within the production department at OSF and in the industry. His passion for true inclusion in production has lead him to realize that Equity, Diversity and Inclusion is his life’s work.

Gabriel believes in networking, collaboration and mentorship as a means to leadership and believes in empowering others through these core values.
