Caitlin continues to reside and create work in Jackson Heights and hopes to become an art teacher, just like her mother:
MICHELE GILBRIDE
who was born in Jackson Heights but grew up on the north shore of Long Island.
Some of her favorite childhood memories were coming back to Jackson Heights for visits to her aunt's studio, where she learned how to draw and paint. Michele received a BFA in painting from Pratt and a MSAE from Queens College.
Michele explores the light in Cape Cod while Caitlin experiments with printmaking, monotypes and collage elements in her work.
