As a signature member of both the nationally acclaimed American Watercolor Society and National Watercolor Society, Barbara's work has been featured in over fifteen major art publications including “The Artists Magazine”, “Splash” and five editions by “North Light Books”.  Realistic art is about the world we see each day in our daily lives, and whenever possible, I prefer to see the beauty in it.  The portrayal of images and objects from my personal world, selected, and then created to evoke an aesthetic response in me and in others, is my goal. I believe it is my dedication to the study of light and its effects, a discriminating sense of composition, design and a contemporary viewpoint, that have formed my artistic signature.
