Name/Title
Western Park and Friends - Alice Gibbons - Green AppleDescription
After four years of study at the San Francisco Art Institute, majoring in printmaking, AliceGibbons recalls fondly the spring of 1967 when she went to Paris to study at the Academie dela Grande Chaumiere to improve her painting and drawing techniques. Artistic inclinations surfaced early in Alice’s life in her native San Francisco. And she has worked devotedly to achieve a high degree of competence – a devotion that has paid off handsomely in local, national and international exhibits of her prints, drawings and etchings. She is represented by galleries through the U.S. and abroad and her prints especially are in many private collections. Alice loves entertaining a concept, image or idea and then grappling with just how to communicate this idea through art. When she gets stuck doing this, that’s when she’ll return to the classroom to perfect her techniques. She’s determined to find a way to express herself. “I find I become quite peaceful in this process,” she notes, “it’s nutrition for the soul. I feel better physically, too.”
