Gilbert is a native New Yorker who moved to New Jersey 17 years ago. Born in Manhattan, she grew up in Brooklyn and lived in Staten Island. She taught art in Brooklyn and Staten Island for 32 years. Her students exhibited in several local galleries in New York, plus a prestigious art showing at the Brooklyn Museum.
