Gabrielle Patterson is an animator, illustrator, and visual artist based in Philadelphia. She is also a worker-owner of Bonfire Media Collective, a video production cooperative dedicated to telling human stories that catalyze social change.
As an artist, I desire to create opportunities for connection and curiosity. My primary medium is animation, and I have recently begun my journey into documentary filmmaking. As my work evolves, I look forward to creating more experimental and immersive storytelling experiences through animation, film, installation, projection, and new technologies.
Gabrielle Patterson is a recipient of the 2023 Leeway Media Artist + Activist Residency Grant
