Sybil Gibson
Sybil Gibson (1908 - 1995) started making art on Thanksgiving day, 1963, when she decided to transform brown paper bags into decorated Christmas wrapping paper. She washed the glue from paper bags and applied them to her favorite surfaces, thus creating a ground upon which to paint her delicate, almost dreamlike figures. "Good art turns me off, while something out of a trash pile turns me on," was one of her typical humble comments about her work.
