Glenda Gibson
Colours of hope and joy.
Latest Artwork
July 2025
Glenda has returned from 6 months in Australia visiting family where she developed her idea of comparing an Australian Urban new build area 'Deanside' with the English village 'Bottesford' where she currently lives. Both council areas are called Melton with the Australian one being named after the English Melton Mowbray. Melton Council in Australia are very interested in her project and have offered practical support. The acrylic painting to your right is of a man enhanced creek near her son's home. It includes paint made with the red soil from the area. The rocks used are dug from the area and appear to be volcanic froth cooled into stone.
Next Exhibition

NROS, Northants and Rutland Open Studios is the next exhibition for Glenda who will have works at 3 venues. Central Exhibition at Lamport Hall, Buckminster Village Hall and the Lamport Studios. Details on the NROS website or in the brochure.
Glenda has work permanently exhibited at Union Street Gallery, Union Street Grantham in Lincolnshire. Six of her works are exhibited along with other local artists in a wonderful high ceilinged building. A great way to see Glenda's works up close.

About Glenda Gibson
I Paint.
I like to push around thick oil paint in pleasing patterns.
Sometimes I paint something so I have shapes to hang my colour on.
​
I am an explorer
brushing, scraping, slurping, sliding
sumptuous, rich and robust oil paint
over taut canvas trampolining back
after each energetic daub
or sweep of red,
blue and blue and blue,
impossible pink
sunshine yellow, gold and greens
A colour funfair all light
reflecting, refracting and shining bright
with deep healing joy.
"Every Artist dips his brush into his own soul and paints his own nature into his pictures."
Henry Ward Beecher
