Barbara's style is generally representational and is influenced by the spontaneity and freshness found in plein air paintings.  It is a rare occasion she will be found in the studio.  Outdoor excursions with her favorite golden retriever, Charlie, are her joy.  Together they explore the trails and paths that are found all over the Tucson area. 

 

It a personal passion to share the love of creating with everyone.  Regardless of the result, the process of creative expression is the gift.  Barbara leads a church ministry and teaches classes in ceramics and painting.
