He found early success winning prestigious prizes and was invited to exhibit at the Whitechapel Galley in London in 1962 and the Paris Biennale in 1963. In the mid-late 1960’s Sibley was a part of the Rudy Komon gallery stable in Sydney that included many of the most important Australian artists of the time.
In the late 60’s Sibley married Irena Pauliukonis, moved to Melbourne and was appointed a lecturer at RMIT – a position he held till 1987 – the impact of his teaching and disciplined methods imparted on generations of Melbourne artists.
