About Barbara
I am inspired by the bone-crushing beauty of life —-sky, land, the watery places, and creatures that fly. I tend to work in series, sometimes completed in a few weeks, sometimes over years: At the Edge of the World, In the Beginning, La Selba, Wall Stories, Cracked Open, Witches-Queens-Selkies-Souls, Land of Enchantment, Deep Water, Gardens and Meadows, The Eastern Woods.
No matter what I’m working in — oil, monotype, assemblage or acrylic— the process always involves applying layers and layers of color, opaque and translucent, building up the surface with texture and stroke, recording the marks/scars that happen to everything and everyone as we walk through our time in the physical world. Recent work is inspired by the great immensity we inhabit and our minuscule, exquisite place in it.
