About Gail Sibley

I was lucky enough to be born to artistic parents who encouraged and supported the direction I would take into the arts. I was also fortunate to be born and brought up in Jamaica, a land of beauty and complexity, of warmth and coolness, of vibrancy and tension. Many say that my Caribbean upbringing influenced my palette and I think they may be right. I do know that it shaped my worldview.

On my academic path, I completed a Bachelor in Fine Arts (Honours) at the University of Manitoba, followed by an M.A. in Art History at Queen's University. Thoughts briefly crossed my mind about continuing on for a PhD but I found myself being drawn back into the practice of art and I am ever so glad I listened to my soul!

 Over the last couple of years, my work has taken a new direction, from one that reflects an interpretation of what I see in the world, to one that relies more on working intuitively, and that revels in ideas and the process itself. I have had to learn to trust that the combination of intuition and intellect, of following the lead of the painting itself, will get me there in the end. I have also learnt to be more brave, to take more risks. Along with abstract work, my most recent explorations often include the figure.

I have exhibited regularly through the years in regional, national and international shows, and have been honoured to receive appreciation of my work at these shows in media reviews and awards. Most recently, I was thrilled to win the 2014 Grand Prize for the international juried exhibition, Painting On The Edge (POTE) at the Federation Gallery in Vancouver. I am also proud to have received my Signature Membership in the Pastel Society of America (PSA) in 2002. Happily, my paintings are found in private and corporate collections in several countries.

I love teaching so, as well as creating full-time, I offer workshops in pastels, drawing, and mixed media. I am also excited to be developing a series of online courses in pastel.
