I’m Barbara, an artist. My art portrays what I feel to be the true meaning of nature—a magnificent correlation to one’s soul. Study any part of nature and you can feel an array of emotions. I strive to interpret these feelings in my work. I study my subject matter as if it was a portrait. My colors are deep and bold or soft and sensitive. I look for a feeling and work with my palette to bring that feeling to life on my paper. I believe all nature has its own uplifting, symbolic spirituality. Nature can speak to our hearts if we listen. I strive to have my work bring to the viewer a love of the earth’s beauty and a desire to behold it. .
