About

Hello. My name is Judy Gibbs
I was born in Smith Falls Ontario. The Ottawa Valley is
where I learned about nature with my Grandfathers. My
Mother's father taught me about birds. He was a quiet
Naturalist. My father's father was a skilled artist from
Europe. He inspired me to begin painting at age 7.
I have taken some courses in Art, however, I am pretty
much self-taught. After over 30 years of practice I feel I
have a good grasp of my brushes and paints.
In the past I have worked with water colours and done
many florals. Acrylic paint has been my favorite medium
for the last few years as it is so forgiving and allows me to
create textures and depth through layers of paint.
I have spent many years painting birds. They have taught
me much.
Owning a dog changed who I am and lead to the
portraits of our canine friends.
As I enter a new phase of my life my art reflects that. I
have moved to landscape paintings . I am enjoying more
freedom as I express the moods of Eastern Ontario.
My memories of sitting in the backseat looking out the
window on our journeys along Highway # 7 are coming to
the surface with each of these painting. These new
paintings are a new adventure for me. I hope they hint at
something in you as well.
