Victor Gibbs – Artist

Growing up in the small town of Los Alamos, Victor Gibbs spent a lot of time looking up at the night sky, marveling at the celestial beauty “blissfully unaware of the light pollution that plagues much of the country…In that darkness there is a life affirming beauty to be seen in the night sky.”

As an astrophotographer, Victor finds it important to bring the ancient starlight to his camera sensor, so that others can see the beauty and perhaps venture into the darkened countryside to see the constellations. Victor has studied art, psychology and anthropology at NMSU and owned a creative video business in the 1990s.

Pursuing digital photography he focused on landscapes and cultural landscapes often shooting in remote locations as part of his primary job as an archaeologist.

In 2016, he started a photography business, Adventure Photography, serving local clients including Las Cruces Magazine, AAA New Mexico, and the New Mexico Wine Growers Association. In 2018, he was awarded first place in the New Mexico Magazine in the landscape category. He has shown his work at several galleries in town, including SWEC, the Untiariian Universalist Church of Las Cruces, and the Las Cruces Community Theater.
