Alma Gilbert

Alma Gilbert has been dealing in Maxfield Parrish originals since 1974 and was founder and director of the Maxfield Parrish Museum for eight years. As collector, dealer, and curator, Gilbert has seen most of the original Parrish works pass through her hands, and has owned many, if only briefly. She lives on Parrish’s Plainfield, New Hampshire, estate, The Oaks, where she can study the surroundings that inspired him. Ms. Gilbert currently runs the Cornish Colony Gallery and Museum, a nonprofit foundation that features extensive yearly exhibits of Parrish and other major local artists.
