Sept. 9th – Oct. 27th
Artist’s Reception: Thursday, September 28th | 6:00-8:00pm
with a brief Gallery Talk at 7:00pm
Barbara’s imagery is inspired by observation of the natural world. She visualizes patterns that occur in a continuous rhythm and flow, from the murmuration of birds swooping in formations, to the fluid motion of dancers. Much of her work, created with oil sticks and paint, comes from the physical activity of constructing forms through a process of repetitive layers and strokes of pigment which create a dense volume and tactile surface.
In her artist’s statement, Barbara says: “I am interested in evoking a sense of the evolution of time.”
The Woods Gallery is located in the lower level of the Huntington Woods Library and is open during library hours.
