Art came late into Barbara's life. She earned her BFA at Concordia University in Montreal after finishing her first career in the foreign service.

With her husband she moved to Washington State from Washington DC in 1994. Originally a literal thinker, and quite traditional, Barb says that her recent work has become more lateral and thought provoking.

Her media is varied, and she lets the idea lead her where she goes with her art work. She wants people to look at her art and let the work add a new dimension to the viewer's awareness.
