Coast Highway Art Collective New Work by M. Kibbe & D. Caperton sculptures and more....

Caperton works in mixed media assemblages, combining original elements she makes in clay and metal, then blends these with objects she collects. “The process of creating loosely woven metaphors through a vocabulary of objects hopefully enables the viewer to find their own meaning,”

Kibbe studied biology at Mount Holyoke College and transferred to Rhode Island School of Design where she received a BFA in printmaking in 1988.  Shortly after, she moved to Point Arena.   Since then she has worked in a variety of media and has had numerous shows locally and was included in a kite show juried by Milton Glaser at the Smithsonian Institute.

“I was not trained as a sculptor but I have made some sculpture over the years,” Kibbe says.  “The inspiration has always come from the materials which have brought forth strange creative impulses that I like to allow without judgment.” One series Kibbe created featured old growth.
