R.L. Gibson is a nationally-shown artist and happily-married mother of one working and “living on vacation” on top of a mountain in Tennessee with work in galleries from New York to Texas.  Gibson is currently working on her newest xerography series Psychomachia with Arizona photographer, Jerry Portelli.

Gibson works, almost exclusively as a xerographist, producing complicated layered compositions and then hand-transferring these images to a variety of substrates resulting in a unique monotype.  Xerography, as a medium, has neither a standard place in institutional art instruction nor a documented developmental history.  Gibson has spent years refining her hand-palatted technique.  The “skips” are not flaws but the unique result of the process.

“I am an Objectivist—that is, I believe in objective reality.  This belief is clearly reflected in my work—from color to content.  Pieces of Me is a large series, currently in progress, that explores the physical reality of my reverence for human potential —with self as other as reoccurring content.”
--R.L. Gibson
