Gillian is a fine art photographer and visual artist.
A multiplicity of beings, she is the co-creation of her ancestors, beloved family, and numerous mentors. A Magnum Foundation awardee and graduate of Princeton University (BA Architecture cum laude), she received her MFA in Fine Arts from California College of the Arts in 2015. Prior to graduate school, she trained in New York with some of the top fine art and fashion photographers in the world.
Her art practice revolves around notions of cosmic time, sacredness, and ritual—and extends into the mediums of video, drawing, installation and writing.
Her photography is featured in American Style & Spirit, a book about her great-aunt's dress collection published in 2016 by the V&A Museum, as well as Nourish: The Revitalization of Foodways in Hawaii about regenerative agriculture, which she coauthored with the human ecologist and scholar Dr. Clare Gupta in 2019.
She lives in Moss Beach, just south of San Francisco, with her two beautiful daughters and life-partner Cameron Ewing on the unceded, traditional territory of the Ramaytush Ohlone.
