Born in Alberta, Canada, Audrey passed away at her home in San Francisco's Bernal Heights neighborhood, surrounded by loved ones.

Her paintings have hung in San Francisco, in locations such as the famous Hungry I, as well as Modesto, Gualala, Berkeley, and Sausalito.

Gabrielson's interest in art began at a young age. She drew, modeled in clay, and studied art by correspondence and began winning honors. Her introduction to oils began with a Canadian Indian instructor and later continued at Reed College in Portland, Oregon where she studied under the famous West Coast artist, Louis Bunce. She also worked in bronze, studying under San Francisco sculptor C.B. Johnson.

She held season tickets for the San Francisco Ballet and Opera for many decades, in addition to regularly attending local and independent artists exhibitions and installations, touring bands and musicians, and other performances in and around San Francisco.
