Throughout Barbara’s life she has always made time for art, including during her first career when she owned a Marketing and Strategic Planning company. The beauty and diversity of nature inspires her art. Barbara wants the viewer to experience the feelings of beauty, tranquility and excitement that she feels when a subject is selected to paint. With the escalating threat of global warming, Barbara believes that it is important for a contemporary landscape artist to present an impressionistic view of nature, as it exists today, for generations to come.
