Libbie’s Story
Libbie is a painter with a degree in Chemistry who exchanged lab benches for canvases.
Her scientific background continues to influence her art — she approaches painting like an experiment, layering intuition and structure to discover new visual relationships.
What began as curiosity has evolved into a full-time studio practice grounded in discipline, risk, and wonder.
Artistic Approach
Libbie’s acrylic paintings are known for their vibrant color, textural depth, and measured spontaneity.
Every layer is built intentionally, balancing accident and control until the composition resolves.
Her process reflects both the analytical mind of a scientist and the expressive spirit of an artist.
Through that duality, she invites viewers to find their own point of connection — to see where logic meets emotion.
Inspiration & Journey
In October 2025, at the age of 60, Libbie left the Midwest and drove through the mountains — a journey of switchbacks, long horizons, and breathtaking light.
That experience reshaped her understanding of scale and atmosphere and continues to influence her palette and compositions.
Now based in Scottsdale, Arizona, Libbie paints daily, drawing inspiration from the light, the desert’s quiet spaces, and the act of showing up to create.
