About Gabrielle
Gabrielle Rilleau, daughter of artist and leather crafters, grew up in Provincetown during the 1940’s and 50’s, It was a time when its fishing fleet was thriving, artists were struggling, and voices of children’s play sang from every corner in town. It was a time when the town had its own electric power plant and the interdependence and independence of the dwellers fashioned the core of life. A time when clocks ran slower, giving time for net mending and storytelling…spinning of yarns. summer People from over the bridge and beyond were a source of curiosity, entertainment and additional livelyhood. The mix formed an ever-changing dance of the town’s demography with colorful choreography.
