Born in Melbourne Australia, Myvanwy Gibson began her artistic career in 2000 as a real-time video artist. She has a Master of Visual Art/Painting (completed 2013 in Milan, Italy); a Master of Visual Cultures and Curatorial Practices (completed 2016 in Milan, Italy) and a Master of Research in Arts and Humanities from The Royal College of Art, London (completed 2023). She has exhibited and presented her paintings, installations and performance videos in London, Milan, New York, Rome, Switzerland, Venice and Vienna, and her research papers have been published in Academia Letters magazine and in the proceedings of the International Association of Empirical Aesthetics. 
Her research is a theoretical and philosophical investigation into the nature of being, of becoming/transforming, of language, translation and technology - and above all, of what we might learn if attuned to the natural world. It could be contextualised within the philosophical and socio/political, with a specific interest in how humankind can evolve consciously so as to address the current world challenges around the environment, health and well-being and technology.
