Gabriel Shaffer lives and works in Asheville, NC. The son of renowned folk/visionary artist Cher Shaffer, Gabriel was raised within the self taught medium and had contact with many folk and outsider artists as a young boy. Always creative, he spent much of his early youth drawing, painting, writing poetry and prose. At the age of 27, in a deep depression, Shaffer had an epiphany while experimenting with painting. He has since focused solely on visual art. He has already exhibited in over 80 shows and sold hundreds of works of art to collectors, rock stars, celebrities, politicians, bestselling authors, galleries and museums, throughout various major cities nationally and internationally.
