Gabby Garrison - MO City, TX

This week we took a different route with renovation for this upcoming client, Gabby Garrison. Gabby is a great friend of mine who played D1 Softball at the University of Missouri and also had a passion for education, specifically being a teacher. After her collegiate career, she settled down back home and has been an assistant teacher for an elementary school. Gabby gave Cedes Secrets a call and asked if we would help her find a piece to bring her classroom together. She was looking for a piece that will exemplify her love for bringing in different types of kids with different passions and finding ways to help them learn and be educated. She has a big love for working with kids and she is one talented teacher. After careful consideration, it seemed that the best piece that would fit her devotion for students, teaching, and education would be Raphael’s The School of Athens.

Raphael’s School of Athens is known for the collaboration of the alphas of all subjects from math, philosophy, science and more. This piece shows the gathering of all of the greats like da Vinci, Aristotle, Phytagoras, and Archimedes to name a few. Here at Cedes Secrets we believe this piece helps put Gabby’s purpose as a teacher into a visual representation. Not only does the piece show these great influences from all different parts of Europe, it also shows that they all belong under the same roof.

Our client loved the piece we chose and she was very pleased with the location. We decided top place the piece in the back of her classroom, so not only is it one of the first things you see when you walk into Gabby’s classroom, but it can also be a reminder for Gabby as to what her purpose is and why she enjoys teaching.
