About the studio

 

Welcome to the Gibson Studio in Stroud, Gloucestershire, which is a family of artists each with a different approach in ideas and style.

 

Mary Gibson (M.Gibson) – after graduating with a BA in Graphic Design from Kingston upon Thames, Mary spent several years

working on illustration commissions before taking a break to have a family.

Following a move to a smallholding in Wales, she returned to illustration, experimenting with various print mediums.

Some time later the family moved to Frome in Somerset where they ran a successful lifestyle shop.

Having now sold the business and moving to Stroud, she is now concentrating on painting again, drawing inspiration from the Cotswold countryside.

 

Tony Gibson (A.J.Gibson) – graduated with a degree in Graphic Design from Watford School of Art.

Tony joined several small London studios before working in product visualising for a large company. Branching out

into freelance book illustration and graphic design, as the family moved from the home counties to a Welsh smallholding.

Teaching followed, in design, for the University of South Wales. The family then relocated to Somerset,

and here with Mary, the development of a lifestyle shop blossomed. The shop is now under new ownership and we have settled in Stroud,

where it’s paintings of people and nature, combining new styles with events.

 

We are both creating new work to add to the website. Paintings and prints are available – please see our contact page.
