Dr. Ilse Maria Gibson is a full-time university lecturer on Computer and Business subjects but she still finds time to indulge in her early passions, photography and writing. Born in south Germany, she travelled and worked world-wide and lived in the United States and the United Kingdom for several years.

Since 2004 Ilse has been based in Phuket where she teaches at Phuket's Prince of Songkla University. Phuket will miss this energetic, vivacious lady when she will take up a position as a university lecturer in China in November.

Phuket has provided Ilse with a treasure trove of subjects for photos which include shots of people, nature, sailing, buildings and interior design. Her interest in computer science and photography started

her to experiment with photos using various graphic programmes. A frequently published freelancer, her work has appeared in several German magazines accompanying her articles about cuisine and travel in Malaysia and Thailand.

Ilse Gibson's fine art prints adorn homes, hotels, restaurants and offices worldwide. Upon request, Ilse converts other people's favourite photos into photo art. For more information contact the artist directly islagib.webs.com/upcomingeventsandnews.htm

'Turning ‘normal' photos into pop-art, is my favourite digital art. In my Phuket home you find photos of all my family members converted into colourful art pieces.'

Opening Cocktail reception 18 September from 19.00 - 20.30 hours
