Visual and performing artist born and based in Houston, Texas.

(She/They)

A self-proclaimed “renaissance man” and “Jack of All Trades, Gabby boasts skills as a singer, photographer, filmmaker, poet, and actor. Fascinated by taboos, her art explores themes of life, death, gender expression, and identity.

Lately, Gabby has been exploring these themes in her darkroom practice. She delves into life and death in her 2024 series, Beyond the Grave, a series that conveys the artist’s connection to mortality through graveside still lives and self-portraits.

In Holder’s most recent project, Not the Man, they explore gender expression and investigate how they embody masculinity.
