Born in Los Angeles, California in 1995, Halle Gilbert is an artist whose work moves between photography, installation, fabric, and digital self-performance. After relocating to Idaho, she studied Political Science and International Studies at the University of Idaho, a place she entered reluctantly but left profoundly shaped by; its landscape, its quiet, and the particular clarity that comes from living at the edge of things.

Parallel to her academic work, Gilbert began working in hospitality, where she learned the choreography of space, attention, and care. The industry became a formative education: how people move, what makes them feel held, how environments can soften or heighten the self. These ideas, carried forward, inform the sensibility of her interdisciplinary practice today.

Gilbert has since lived and worked in San Francisco, New Zealand, Seattle, New York City, and Idaho again for graduate study, with each move expanding her perspective on identity, intimacy, and the performance of daily life. She is currently based in South Bend, Indiana; relocating to NYC in February 2026.
