Gabriel was born in England at Richmond and studied at the Heatherley School of Fine Art in London and then in Paris.[1][2] Her sculptures were classical in style and she regularly exhibited in Paris from 1925 onwards, often at the Salon des Artistes Francais.[3] Her sculpture Mother and Child featured in the 1939 volume Modern British Sculpture published by the Royal Society of British Sculptors.[1] Gabriel eventually became a fellow of the Society.[2] As well as in Paris, she exhibited at the Royal Academy, the Royal Scottish Academy, the Royal Glasgow Institute of the Fine Arts and at the Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool.[1][2] Gabriel died in London, where she had rented a studio in Hampstead since 1915.[1]
