Creator of the famous tales of Snugglepot and Cuddlepie, the Gumnut babies, Gibbs began her career as a cartoonist and hoped to be recognised as an exhibiting painter.

Not especially social with other artists (although she did exhibit regularly), she would become better known for enchanting the public with her charming illustrated works.
