I create and share beauty, whether it's a place in our minds, a memory from our past or an experience not yet realized.
I am a Storyteller
Abstract Stories
In this collection, atmospheric spaces become increasingly bounded by spontaneously drawn shapes. A multitude of colors make up this wonderful inspiration.
Inspiration
My abstract paintings are a dance of elements – a brush stroke here, a shape there, a line – a dot – a mix of colors.

Tweet Tweet Series
Since the
beginning of the pandemic, March 12th 2020 until now, July 2022, my
art has evolved. We were all afraid to leave the compound because we did not
know what would happen next. While I was alone I baked and gardened thinking
that would help the mixed feelings. Then I started to paint again. The first
series was “Interconnection”. The paintings were compact, intertwined and complex.
The next series was “Abstract Stories”. The art became looser but still not
flowing. I re-entered the world when restrictions were lifted and I felt like I
could fly with the birds. The next series began to develop and this was “Tweet Tweet
Series”. The paintings are extremely
loose with subject matter that has escaped the boundary of time and place.
Colorful Color
Acrylic Paintings that show a variety of styles that Barbara has painted over the many years of her career as an artist.
The Art
The beginning of each painting is different. Sometimes I start with a small part of reality and I give it a magical tilt. Some I start with pure abstraction and they end abstract.
Barbara Gone Wild
Here I explore the interface between passion and the intellect, pulsing tissue and desiccated bone.
Living in the Moment
My thought is to make each day the best we can and live in the now. Looking and being thankful for what is around us is so important.
Restoration, Recycling and Remembering
I thought of the state of the world, the excess in which we live: old structures are abandoned or torn down; new ones are put up unnecessarily. What would happen if we could take the lumber, steel, metals, etc. and make beauty out of the old steel mills, out of the hurricane damaged structures and even out of the hidden places in our minds. Could we rearrange them?
Unity
My art is a representation of the unity of everything – how everything comes together, how it comes apart, and how it comes back together.
INTERCONNECTION

Take a peek at my garden
I am trying to make a place that is beautiful, to live “with” or “in.” While I am here on earth, I want to share some beauty that is “inside” me, with you.
