Jenna Gibson

Jenna Gibson serves as an Adjunct Instructor at ArtCenter College of Design within their ArtCenter for Teens and ArtCenter At Night programs. As an active visual artist, she specializes in portrait art, figure drawing, and mixed media compositions using graphite, charcoal, ink, gouache, and acrylic on toned paper.

Her artistic practice centers on portrait art and figure studies, with notable emphasis on pet portraits and wildlife subjects like her 'Eagle Owl' piece. She frequently employs toned paper techniques using Strathmore Toned Gray paper with General's charcoal and Derwent pencils, combined with ink washes and acrylic accents. Her process-oriented approach is documented through Instagram posts highlighting #drawingprocess and #mixedmediaprocess.

Gibson actively engages with the art community through exhibitions at venues including Stay Gallery, Giant Robot, and La Luz De Jesus. She conducts specialized workshops in figure drawing and mixed media techniques through Owens Valley Arts, while maintaining a robust commercial practice accepting commissions for original portraits. Her work demonstrates technical mastery across graphite, charcoal, ink, and layered mixed media applications on paper and panel surfaces.
