My love of art and writing was strong ever since I was a young girl, but my strict culture did not embrace the arts as a practical vocation. Despite that, I majored in Industrial Design during high school and attained a Bachelors degree in Visual Communication and Publication. I held a career as a graphic designer for several years in New York. I now reside in Sarasota, Florida. In 2017 my ache to return to fine art became too strong to ignore. So here I am painting, sketching and creating artwork from my heart with hopes that it will touch others in theirs. I most enjoy painting in large scale but you will also see a variety of small pieces in the shop. I am happily available to complete commissioned pieces as well. Contact me though Etsy or my website www.kerrycreates.com to arrange any custom work. Prints and other artwork reproductions can be purchased at www.fineartamerica.com/profiles/1-kerry-gibson .
