2012 Wall Calendars have arrived!

2011-09-15T06:58:00.001-07:00

My 2012 wall calendar features 13 selected images of my paintings from the past year. It is professionally printed on heavyweight paper with a slight sheen, producing incredible color and detail in the reproductions while also providing a lovely surface to write on. The calendar measures 8.5" x 11" when closed.

Now available in my etsy shop.

"Mint Shasta" Showcase

2011-07-07T17:53:00.000-07:00

Another delayed posting here, but I am thrilled to say that I have returned to Tiny Showcase for the fourth summer in a row. This limited edition is of one of my new pieces from the show at Nahcotta, titled "Mint Shasta". The original painting is sold, but (as of last count) there were 37 prints left out of the edition of 200. Once they are gone though, they are gone for good. You can snag one of the last ones here.

The original is based on on a photo by Don Stucke.

Annual Solo Exhibition at Nahcotta

2011-07-07T17:37:00.001-07:00

I apologize for the delayed announcement here, but I was so focused on making the work over the past several months, I fell behind on promoting the work. If you find yourself in Portsmouth, NH this month, check out my show of 19 new paintings at Nahcotta on Congress St. It is up through July 31 and if you're unable to see it in person, you can view the work online here: http://www.nahcotta.com. I've also added few of the new images as print editions in my etsy shop: http://www.etsy.com/shop/leahgiberson

After months and months of painting

2010-06-22T07:31:00.000-07:00

So this might explain why I haven't posted much over the past six months, or why I've fallen behind on emails and laundry. After months and months of painting, I'm getting very close to finishing work for two upcoming shows that both open in July. Still have to make final decisions about which pieces will go to the show in NH and which will go to San Francisco and which unfinished pieces to finish in the coming days.Pieces I'm thinking of for my show at Rare Device in San Francisco.

Pieces I'm thinking of for my show at Nahcotta in Portsmouth, NH.

psst! New Tiny Showcase print coming soon.

2010-06-18T07:03:00.001-07:00

Can't reveal the image yet, but it will be unveiled next Tuesday evening at 7:30pm EST on Tiny Showcase.

Thank you, Apartment Therapy!

Seaside treasures

2009-08-11T08:29:00.000-07:00

Just returned from a week in (or is it on?) Florida's panhandle. Some people come back with seashells and t-shirts after a seaside vacation. I returned from this trip with loads of photos to begin new paintings. If the warm turquoise water and soft sugary sand weren't so completely perfect and just steps from the back door, I would have happily spent every day driving around taking pictures. Can't wait to start painting.

Take a peek at the rest of the photos on flickr.

Just came across these absolutely incredible drawings by the artist, Hollis Brown Thornton. Can't believe it took me so long to discover this work. Permanent marker on paper. Are you kidding? It just blows my mind.

HBT is currently in a group show called, "PHOTO-BASED" at Barbara Archer Gallery in Atlanta, GA through June 27, 2009. Other artists in the show include: Roberto Calbucci (Milan), April Gertler (Berlin), J Ivoevich (Brooklyn), Sindy Lutz (New Jersey), Melissa Stern (New York), Karen Tauches (Atlanta), and Dayna Thacker (Atlanta).

New work in progress

2009-05-06T18:42:00.000-07:00

I'm very excited about a new little painting I've started based on a photo taken by Victoria from sfgirlbybay blog. A refreshing change to my usual palette.

Analyze This

2009-04-08T06:50:00.000-07:00

Thanks to Avril Loreti for suggesting I try Google Analytics on my etsy shop. I'm a sucker for these interactive maps and wish I had started sooner. That said, I think if they give any more detailed information about who is looking at what, it could get pretty creepy. For now though, I'm officially obsessed.

Intersections

2009-03-10T08:42:00.000-07:00

I am loving these intersection landscape paintings I came across this morning by artist, Grant Haffner.

Stacks of Seconds on Sale

2009-02-10T08:34:00.000-08:00

SPRING CLEANING SALE: Here's a great deal for those on a tight budget right now. I have a stack of prints that I consider 2nds because of minor flaws on the white borders. The images themselves are perfect and will look just lovely once matted - especially appealing because I am offering them at 1/2 to 2/3 OFF my regular prices (depending on how many you get). They are going fast, but there are still a whole bunch of beauties left. Send me a convo through my etsy shop with the ones you're interested in and I'll let you know if I have them as seconds. If I do, I will describe the flaws and post a special listing for you if you want them.

Like many others, the past couple months have been really tough for me financially. But even with my shoestring budget and the holidays right around the corner, I couldn't resist purchasing this print by Beth Dow, which was just announced on Jen Beckman's 20x200.

Quick! They're going FAST!

Sneak Peek

2008-09-11T18:27:00.000-07:00

Just started a new series of paintings of the public pool in Red Hook. I've been commissioned to make a large painting of this pool, so I thought I'd start a number of small ones first and then decide which one to make larger. I'm loving these and am now I'm thinking I might make a few big ones. Now if only I had a studio large enough.

You can view the progress of this series on my flickr site.

2008-08-11T08:47:00.000-07:00

With September in sight, we are getting our last trips to the beach in while we can and (here in New England) noticing the first maple leaves already beginning to change color ever so slightly. With these seasonal tides shifting, I have been busy again in the studio and have finished a few new pieces just in time for the Poppytalk School Days market. Please come visit my table at Poppytalk and stay tuned for more new goodies to come over the next few weeks. Lots of new work based on photos from my recent trip to South Carolina.

Will be back soon

2008-08-08T18:31:00.000-07:00

Life has been busy, busy, busy around here. I hope to get back to posting over the next week or so.

Thanks to all who have left nice comments and inquires about original work. Lots of new pieces coming soon to my etsy site.

Pool Season

2008-06-11T05:53:00.000-07:00

I have been busy in the studio getting ready for the upcoming Art House show June 14th and 15th in Lowell, MA. Lots of new pool paintings will join my collection of suburban scenes. I'll also be selling prints of new (and older) work. If you're in the area, come by and say hello! If you can't make it, I've got prints of these new pieces for sale at my etsy shop.

My own island

2008-05-22T03:57:00.000-07:00

So this past Tuesday was my son's birthday and I was so busy cooking up a storm, wrapping gifts and toasting him (and myself) that I neglected to see who Tiny Showcase was going to unveil for their print of the week. I was so wrapped up in the festivities and already exhausted from my week that I didn't get back on the computer until the following morning.

When I did check in, I couldn't believe my eyes. As soon as I saw the image, it didn't surprise me one bit that the print was sold out, but when I realized that I'd never get to live with this image myself, the core of my heart ached. It's not often that I have such a physical and emotional response to a piece of art, but this was one I couldn't get over.

In a heart broken panic, I tracked down the artist, Nathan Abels and Ivar Zeile from Plus+ Gallery - asking (with fingers crossed) if they had any other prints. After many emails back and forth, I now have a new friend named Nathan and am the soon-to-be proud owner of the original, "Island".

I am a very happy lady.

... and hopefully have learned my lesson not to miss another TS print.

The start of my etsy art collection.

2008-05-10T11:12:00.000-07:00

After such an amazing couple weeks, I am now caught up with orders and decided to treat myself to a piece of original art from one of my new etsy friends. I purchased this new painting by Michele Maule. Happy (early) Mother's Day to me!

Soon to be found at...

2008-05-10T10:51:00.001-07:00

It's been busy around here ever since the Tiny Showcase print excitement. Happy to say that I just sent off a package of prints to Lisa Congdon at Rare Device in San Francisco.

I am also participating in the "Papergoods & Affordable Art Market and Showcase" at Poppytalk Handmade May 12th - June 6th.

Vancouver Special

2008-04-23T08:12:00.000-07:00

Thanks to Jennilee from walkingdistance.etsy.com for introducing me to the architecture style know as a "Vancouver Special" - sort of like a Canadian split level. I'm totally ready to make a new series of work dedicated to these amazing homes. Now I just need to find a way to get out there to take some photos, which really isn't going to happen any time soon. So the other solution is to find some photos to use to begin the series. If anyone sends me a photo that I end up using in a painting, I will give them a print of the piece and credit as the photographer. Anyone? Anyone?

Box Set

2008-04-02T07:08:00.000-07:00

I recently found the work of artist/designer Stephanie Levy (Memphis born, now living in Munich) on Etsy and I became an instant fan. I'm especially obsessed with her "Trendfarben" series, where she collages and paints on boxes that jut out from the wall by 3-6 inches. They work alone or together - on the wall or stacked on a shelf. Her 2-D work is beautiful as well.

Art I wish I owned

2008-04-01T07:19:00.000-07:00

I came across the photography of Carlo Van de Roer on the 20 x 200 site a couple months ago. The compositions and colors are incredible. Makes me consider abandoning my images of houses and only doing pools from here on out, but he's already done it so well. Guess I'll stick to houses with above ground pools.

Yummy treats on etsy

2008-03-31T11:54:00.000-07:00

While I'm waiting for my own etsy sales to increase, I've been compiling a wish list of goodies I'd like to purchase myself. Right up at the top of this list you will find these little delicious prints from maiacrippichicca.etsy.com. Mmmm. Lip smackin good.

2008-03-30T08:28:00.000-07:00

I've avoided this whole blog thing for a long time now, because I haven't really had any interest in journalling publicly. But having recently opened an etsy shop, it seems that starting a blog is the next sensible step as I try to figure out how to make a living with my art and navigate this balancing act between being an artist, designer and mom. Hoping this will be a good place to gather and share inspirations, ideas, and new work.
