Biography

Abriele Skaite (Gabriele Zubauskaite) is a Lithuanian illustrator and cartoonist. She studied her master's degree in Comics and Graphic Novels in Dundee.

Her passion for visual art started when she decided to attend art school at 11 years old (without the permission of her parents). Since then, she's never stopped creating.

Abriel's distinctive technique is the result of the different media she tried during her undergraduate studies.

Meeting new people from different parts of the world and hearing their stories, Abriel realised that her goal in life was to create visual stories about 'invisible' superheroes that nobody talks about.

The webcomics published across our digital channels have been created by University of Dundee’s Masters in Comics and Graphic Novels students.
