JD Gibson is an award winning American artist and illustrator and teacher. JD Gibson is internationally known for paintings that are filled with light and color. "I like to work with a wide variety of subjects, from landscape, to still life and portraiture. My background in illustration makes it easy for me to tell stories in my paintings and drawings. I believe that even a simple still life can have a good story to tell. I create in media from graphite to watercolor, but my one true love is oil and canvas. Anyone looking at my work should come away feeling like the work has become part of them."
