Gabi Lecusay

Fantasy Artist

As a crafty critter myself, I love to work with lots of different tools to help make my vision real. I primarily enjoy illustrating, 3D modeling, and writing. You can find my work primarily listed on my several websites, as well as on my personal newsletter.

3D Printing and Fabrication is my professional specialty as I'm a wizard with part files, CAD, and modular mindsets. Tinkerer is yet another title I own as I picked up soldering with lights and interactivity as a passionate hobbyist. I love to bridge Art and Technology as a means to push my ideas to more exciting, immersive levels. At the core of it all lies my fascination with learning and collecting skills through relentless experience.

In 2019 I began my academic career with MAGIC at Miami Dade College. I graduated as a Producer for the capstone project A Lesson in Magic, written by Hannah, then sponsored and aired by Nickelodeon Studios. The ambitious endeavor was composed of a two and a half minute animated short entirely made with hand-drawn 2D ESL animation in English, Spanish, and Portuguese.

I have continued to explore animation with flash and motion graphics. New World School of The Arts is where I find myself graduating in the spring of 2026 with my BFA in Art and Technology. I’m finishing with a 3.95 gpa for UF and a 3.34 gpa for MDC. There I began many incredible experiments with 3D and programming that I might not have found elsewhere. Web Design, CNC Fabrication, Woodworking, and even B&W Film Photography are all now wonderful undertakings I will carry forward past my graduation.

My art is wholly dedicated to the many strong, beautiful women in my family who cherished the arts so dearly that I discovered the voice within myself to express my eye.

My network is still a work in progress, so please use my web map to get around for now.

Thanks for reading! :^)
