Artist Audrey Chibbaro died on
December 11, 2008 at the age of
45. She spent her life as an
artist, heavily influenced by her
education as a fashion designer.
Audrey studied at the Scuola de
Medici in Florence, Italy, and at
the Fashion Institute of
Technology, and received her BFA
from Brooklyn College. She was a
prolific artist who created many
types of sculptures, drawings,
etchings and ceramic pieces,
some of which have shown in the
Garrison Art Center and the
Brooklyn Gallery of Art. Audrey
designed and produced costumes
for the American Center of
Dramatic Arts and taught
puppetry and quilt making to
children and seniors at the New
York City Housing Authority.
Audrey relocated to Beacon, New
York in 2006 and quickly
participated in and was embraced
by the artist community. She
became a member of the Beacon
Art Salon and her work was part
of the Beekman Street Artist
Banner Project and the Windows
On Main Street project.

“Audrey Chibbaro was an amazingly prolific artist with an equally prodigious sense of optimism and humor. Her work--
which ran the gamut of painting, drawing, printing, ceramics, sculpture, figurative, conceptual-- provoked an awakening of
forces both light and dark. I have never met an artist more tuned-in to her process and keenly aware of the infinite
possibilities for creating. A visit to her house is to step into a realm where art lives and breathes and pulses with a life force
all its own. Audrey's life and work is an inspiration to all who were blessed to be a part of her circle. Her passing is a great
loss to so many here in Beacon and beyond.”
