Leah Giberson

Leah Giberson graduated from Massachusetts College of Art in 1997 with a BFA in painting and worked as an interactive designer and art director for ten years. She now paints almost full time, working in acrylic, digital prints and sometimes embroidery thread.

On her website, Giberson describes her work more eloquently than I ever could. She says, "I start by photographing suburban and urban landscapes and then use these prints to begin my mixed-media paintings. I work back into the prints with paint and sometimes embroidery thread to alter the setting and distill the essential elements of each image." She goes on to explain, "The lines between the 'fact' of the photographic image and the 'fiction' of the paint are blurred at times, but not denied. I am not trying to hide the process, but rather, I am investigating where fact and fiction meet and how they influence and inform one another, creating a new and arguably truer story."

You can find out where to purchase Giberson's art on her website and her blog. I know you'll find her pieces as delightful...and delightfully affordable...as I do.
