Paola Gaviria is an outstanding artist born in Quito, Ecuador and raised in Colombia. In the last six years, she has been drawing in different cities around the world—from Paris to Sydney, where she now lives and sees her life as a foreigner through lines and colors. Her latest exhibition, "Drawing Around," which is featured at the First Draft Gallery, captures the eclectic scenarios of Sydney's red-light district, Kings Cross, where she lives amongst the drug dealers, prostitutes and backpackers of the area.
