Diana K Gibson Fine Art Studio 11 Paterson Avenue, Midland Park, NJ 07432

"This is the best art studio in Northwest New Jersey! I love being here to draw, paint, learn and be among other talented artists and fellow students. I have dubbed this jewel of a studio "my happy place." I can come here if I am happy, sad, rushed, relaxed and find an instructor who is always welcoming, in tune to her students and ready to challenge each one to dig deeper, stretch further in bringing their art to the next level. The studio is a beautiful, relaxed setting for either still lifes or live models with a master artist who knows her stuff! Diana is a gifted,, talented and prolific artist, who understands composition, line, drawing, lighting, color, modeling and the marketplace. Her positiivity and fun approach is just right for fostering growth in her students. She meets her students where they are whether they are newly born into the art world or are well accomplished in their own right. If you even think for a moment that you would like to jump in and try drawing, charcoal, or painting - Jump in here! This is truly along with being a best buy, a best art experience! I have learned so much here! You will too!"

"Great studio! There is plenty of space, appropriate lighting, and a very positive environment. Diana hovers throughout the class - consistently providing suggestions, tips, and theory. I have enjoyed this studio since it opened and have been mentored by Diana for over six years. Words are not enough to describe her role in my own development as an artist. Below are a couple of pieces completed in the Diana K Gibson Fine Art Studio!"

"The quality and dedication of Diana’s instruction and knowledge within the fine arts is a rare find. I have studied oil painting and charcoal under Diana for over a decade. Throughout the years, I have witnessed Diana take careful consideration of each individual’s journey and goals. Studying under Diana is a rewarding experience where you will develop a skill that will pay in dividends for a lifetime. Diana is a uniquely qualified artist, and I would highly recommend her studio to anyone remotely interested in the arts, emerging artists, or professionals who want to hone their craft."

"An excellent art studio that includes instruction in charcoal sketching techniques and painting in oils of both still life scenes and live figures. In addition to in-studio work, Diana provides plein air art instruction in beautiful locations. I highly recommend this fine art studio for those new to painting, as well as those wanting to grow their established skills. Models are provided in the evening classes. Diana Gibson’s fine art studio provides a very comfortable environment for the artistic experience. I recommend it highly!"

"I have enjoyed going to the Diana K Gibson Fine Art Studio for about a year and half now. Diana is a wonderful instructor that embraces students of all levels. Diana is always kind and makes everyone in class feel welcome. She creates a warm and inviting environment. Diana also produces beautiful portraits, landscapes and still life paintings. Her beautiful artwork is on display in the studio and has been an inspiration in my studies."
