she has worked for 30 years. Her career as a photographer
began at the age of 10 when she first stepped foot in a

photography. After honing her photography and makeup
artist skills in New York City, she packed her camera and

moved to South Florida in 1991.
Individually and in partnership with Lorber, her fine
art photography has been published, sold and exhibited
across the world. Adapting from her youthful darkroom
days, Gilbert has become a Photoshop and printing expert.
With her unparalleled creative vision and passion for
innovation, Gilbert has established herself as an ambitious
artist and will continue to inspire all for years to come.
