ARTIST PROFILE:
Born in 1939, Barbara has enjoyed a long and successful career pursuing her first love – painting.
She has won many major awards over the last four decades, gaining her much recognition.
To Barbara painting is a passion, and although guided and influenced by several well-known Australian Artists, she is basically self-taught.
Sharing her gift is important, and she demonstrates her techniques at Art Societies and Rotary Art shows throughout Victoria, as well as judging many of these events. She has also tutored classes for over 30 years.
Barbara paints mainly in pastels and oils these days, but she is also noted for her work in gouache and sometimes watercolour. Through these media, she captures with true colour and clarity of vision, her love of the Australian countryside. Nowadays Barbara is exploring her inner vision re-defining anew her spiritual relationship with the Australian environment, and more recently, in the English, European, and New Zealand environments.
Barbara demonstrates her talents at various Art Societies throughout Victoria, and over the years she has held regular solo exhibitions. In 1998 & 2000 she held two very successful solo exhibitions in England.
