ARTIST BIO

Holly was born and raised in Venango County, graduated from Franklin Area High School, then earned degrees at Clarion University of Pennsylvania and Mansfield University of Pennsylvania. She has spent her entire life in Venango County, working in and later starting three businesses here, raised three children here, and enjoys showing her seven grandchildren all that this beautiful county has to offer.

She owns three local businesses: GBS Web Services, LLC (a Marketing and Business Consulting company), Porch Music Store (an instrument maker and retailer with music lesson studios), Artist’s Attic LLC (art supply retailer and art workshop venue) all located in Franklin.

One of her greatest passions is photography. She also loves nature and to bike, hike, and kayak, so you are likely to find her taking photos on our beautiful trails and waterways with friends or family, year-round. She uses the camera to record moments of exceptional light, shadow, and color in the local landscape. As a life-long resident, she is familiar with the special places and the best views in Venango County.

Holly has a passion for photography, and she has participated in and judged many local art shows. Visit her online at hollylynngibbons.com or on Facebook or X (formerly Twitter). If you are visiting Franklin, you can see some of her photography at Artist’s Attic, LLC located in the Porch Music Store Building at 1253 Liberty Street.
