"Chelsea Gibson paints portraits of home. But home for the upstate New York artist is not a static entity; it cannot not be measured in square feet or valued in dollars. Rather, home is a feeling—something experienced—that roots itself in a person’s relationship to space, time, things, and other people. As a gifted cellist who studied at the New England Conservatory of Music, perhaps it is inevitable that Gibson tasks her visual art with an experiential subject matter."
