BIO | Mixed media Artist

From childhood, Bibby dreamed of becoming an artist. She first channeled her creativity into building a successful culinary team-building business across four major cities, selling the company in 2017 to pursue art full-time. Her vibrant mixed-media paintings have been exhibited at the de Young Museum and collected internationally. Her work is represented by Portland Art Gallery in Portland, ME and Hagan Fine Art in Charleston, SC. In addition to her studio practice, she teaches her boundary-pushing techniques to thousands of students worldwide, both online and in person, encouraging others to embrace creativity with confidence and without hesitation.

I never know who’s in charge—my art or me. The process is alchemical, magical, joyful. The maverick in me is encouraged. The perfectionist? She gets a time-out.

Artist Statement

Each day as I step into my studio, I enter a playground – a place for taking risks, letting go of attachments, and experimenting with new ideas. The materials guide me: a childhood letter to the tooth fairy, a One-Way Road sign, a billboard scrap foraged in Mexico City - all find their way into the work. My spirit laughs out loud as I break rules and draw outside the lines. The process is alchemical and joyful, encouraging the maverick while giving the perfectionist a time-out. As I layer and discover, collected fragments speak in their own wild syntax, revealing stories I didn't know were hiding in my hands.
