Edna Hibel

Edna Hibel was born in Boston in 1917. She began her formal studies while in high school, under Gregory Michael, a noted portrait painter. Edna continued her studies at the Boston Museum School of Fine Arts, where she was awarded the Ruth B. Sturtevant Traveling Fellowship in 1939. In 1940, the Boston Museum of Fine Arts purchased one of her paintings for it's permanent collection, making Edna Hibel the youngest living artist to honored by a major American museum in this way.

Throughout the 1950's and 1960's, Edna Hibel displayed her art at many one person and group exhibitions, gaining notice among the public and critics alike. This eventually led to world wide acclaim, and her achievements are truly impressive: solo exhibitions at London's Guggenheim Gallery and Mall Galleries, the Museu Nacional de Belas Artes in Rio de Janiero, the Museo Nacional de Costa Rica, the China National Art Gallery in Beijing, and the National Museum of Women in the Arts in Washington, D.C.. She also held two exhibitions in the former Soviet Union, as well as Austria, Switzerland, Monaco, Germany, Belgium, Israel, Yugoslavia, Norway, Sweden and Finland.

Edna Hibel has received many honors in her long, illustrious career, including the release of a commemorative stamp for the Untied Nations, and citations by Pope John Paul II, Queen Elizabeth II, the late King Badouin of Belgium, and twice from the Congress of the United States. She has also been given fellowships in the Royal Society of Art in London, and the World Academy of Art and Science of Stockholm.

Perhaps her brochure puts it best: "An artist of the graceful and joyful, Edna Hibel inspires us to seek beauty and truth in our everyday lives by achieving in her work a humanity and sensitivity perhaps unparalleled in the world of post-modernist art. All of Hibel's powers of expression are lovingly captured in each of her creations.."
