About BarbaraGurryRowellArtist

Barbara Gurry Rowell Biography Barbara’s current series is an exploration of her personal vision of the outdoors. Working with watercolor and pen & ink on paper she shares with the viewer her love of nature and the remarkable images she encounters along the way. When she is not in her studio she travels, hiking wilderness trails and coastal shorelines to find her inspiration. Taking photographs and sketching on-site, she studies each subject to uncover its unique characteristics and features. In her studio Barbara combines soft watercolor washes with various pen & ink techniques on hand-made paper. She intentionally isolates her subject to capture its distinct essence and personality. Her work expresses her deep appreciation of the environment, the blending of miraculous colors and its wondrous images. Barbara received her formal art education at Cayuga College and Syracuse University School of Visual and Performing Arts. Subsequently, she has pursued a career as a fine artist and continues to learn and meet new challenges. Her art has always articulated her spiritual connection to the earth. She presently works at her studio/gallery in Saint Petersburg, Florida.
