About the Artist:
Edna Hibel (1917-2014) was a well loved and versatile artist and colorist.

Deeply proficient and prolific, Hidel painted in oil, watercolor, and worked in stone lithography. Her work with lithographs started in 1966, moving to Zurich to work at a fourth generation printing atelier. She explored the full capabilities of  printmaking with up to 32 stones, working with paper, silk, wood veneer, and porcelain. She painted in her studio every day until she was 93 years old.
