Barbara grew up in Northern Michigan and studied art at Kendall College of Art and Design. The dramatic seasons of the midwestern climate instilled in her an affinity and respect for nature. After working for Oregon State Parks for several years, Barbara's goals include connecting people with the natural world through her artwork. Her most recent inspiration comes from the Cascade Mountains’ ecosystems and forms of Pacific Northwest wildflowers. The calming peace she finds while in undeveloped landscapes is something she wishes to share with all people.
