Artist Bio
EDUCATION
The Paire College of Art, New Haven Connecticut BFA
A Connecticut native receiving her formal art training at The Paire College of Art in New Haven, Barbara is now a long-time resident of New Hampshire. Beginning her career as an illustrator, she had a vision that her drawings could be more dynamic when created as works of fine arts; and she could pursue her passion of working primarily in graphite, while developing a style, she considered unique and challenging, In Sharp Focus. With time the work has become more refined adding hints of color in acrylics to bring attention to a portion that enhances the entire image.
As her work became established, she was extended membership in the Salmagundi Club in NYC, the New Hampshire Art Association, and the Copley Society in Boston when she has achieved the level of Copley Artist. She has been represented by galleries throughout New England including the Granary on Martha’s Vineyard and the Whitney in Maine. She has had exhibits of her work throughout the region and her work is included in many private collections. Until her passing, she continues to draw and exhibit new works with her unique and unmistakable detail, that challenge the viewer’s senses and emotions while further allowing them to find their own personal meaning in the work for long lasting enjoyment.
