Twenty years ago, I made a life-changing decision. I left Atlanta, where I’d grown up, married and raised a family, and moved to Rabun County in northeastern Georgia. At the time, I had no idea how profoundly my new surroundings would influence my art. The mountain views and reflections from my lake cottage led me to the landscape genre, that remains my focus.

I’m energized and inspired when I hear that a prospective new owner is pleased with an original in My STUDIO and ART LAB located alongside the Timpson Creek Gallery. Visitors can experience a working studio there; and, I am also intrigued by the opportunity that Bulleit Fine Art offers to expand interest in my work through limited-edition reproductions.

I hold a Bachelor of Visual Arts in print-making from Georgia State University. I worked for the Georgia Council for the Arts teaching printmaking around the state. I am a Hambidge Fellow and have taught Plein air classes for the Hambidge Center for Creative Arts and Sciences in Rabun Gap, GA. And I’ve studied under Marc Chatov, Alice Williams and Ann Templeton. More recently, a private grant supported my study with the renowned Cynthia Packard, a painter in Provincetown, MA.

Depicted below is a sampling of my work: originals are on exhibit a Timpson Creek Gallery near Clayton GA; and selected high-definition reproductions under the Featured Works tab here. You can also reach Libby directly at mathewslibby@gmail.com>
