Biography
About the Artist Barbara has little in the way of formal training and has spent the better part of her working life in the field of accounting. She was first introduced to pastels in 2005 and there was no looking back. Suddenly, she had a passion. In May 2006 she left her corporate position to take the summer off and re-invent or at least re-assess her life. And that she did! She started painting in earnest and has not stopped. |

| The images below are from El Patron restaurant on Montgomery. Pietro Palladini has allowed me to assist him on a project of painting murals in El Patron for their grand opening ~ soon! The sunflower below is my first attempt. It still needs a bit of work but I'm happy with it. Pietro is doing the larger projects. Susana Erling helped us with the stencil designs over the archways. I'm looking forward to seeing it all completed! |
