She was educated at Brookline High School where she met her future husband, Theodore Plotkin to whom she was married for 72 years. She spent many summers at the shore in Hull, Massachusetts and in Maine studying watercolor painting. She began painting at the age of 9 in elementary school. Edna Hibel was educated at the Boston Museum School of Fine Arts, from 1935-39, and was a special graduate student later. In 1942, she was honored with the Sturtevant Traveling Fellowship to Mexico. At the age of 23, she was the youngest artist at the time to have a painting purchased by a major American art museum. The Boston Museum of Art purchased ” Orange Lady” which Edna Hibel had created during her time in Mexico. The painting is now with the Lafayette Art Foundation and Museum in Louisiana, along with ” Hello Dolly”, a portrait of Ginger Rogers. Edna began “pulling” stone lithographs in 1966 in Boston and then moved to work in a fourth generation ‘atelier” in Zurich in 1970 and she still works in Switzerland. Lithography is a drawing medium and it is especially suited to her draftsmanship and exquisite control over “the line.” She innovated in creating works with up to 32 stones (or colors) on paper, silk, wood veneer and encouraged her porcelain manufacturers to allow her to create color separations with stone lithography which were transferred in a “secret” complicated process onto Bavarian hard paste porcelain. These works are now called lithographs on porcelain. Until the age of 93, Edna painted each day in her studio at home beginning early in the morning and hand enhanced her original stone lithographs, serigraphs and giclee with pastels, oil paint, gold leaf, pencil, ink, conte crayon and charcoal.
