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. The Beacon Art Salon is now an online group known as the Contemporary Art Salon and can be found at https://www.facebook.com/groups/ContemporaryArtSalon/
