Barbara has worked in several mediums for over 30 years. She
began in oil as her mother also painted in oils. After a painting
session at the age of 10, using over 12 tubes of oil (her
mother's), it was suggested she try another medium! Later,
learning that Winslow Homer was entirely self-taught she
announced to her parents that she would become an artist.
She holds a B.S. from the University of Alabama. Barbara has
always been fascinated with the translucent color and the play
of light on any surface, be it that of the human eye, on water,
or the shafts of sunlight that filter through the clouds. She
strives for paintings that "make the viewer feel something."

She sold her first painting at the age of 15 and over the next 2 years had two public showings. She
realized almost immediately that painting was an avocation and exhibition more of a vocation. Since,
her work has been exclusively for private collectors, and charity. She has paintings in private
collections in Europe, Canada, South Africa, and in eleven states in the United States. After 30
years, Barbara had her first public show in the fall of 2006. Barbara's work includes portraits,
landcape, scientific illustration, minor caricature work, and abstract, acrylic and water color, as well as
limited photography.
