Four Legs

Barbara’s living beings collection captures the essence of animals through a primitive-abstract lens, bringing their spirit to the canvas in a way that is uniquely her own. Known for her ability to distill her subjects into bold, evocative forms, Barbara often begins with the details that captivate her most—like the sweeping horns of a longhorn or the graceful strength of a horse’s frame. Using her signature layering technique with vibrant acrylics and soft oil crayon accents, she creates works that radiate vitality and energy. This collection invites viewers to connect with the raw beauty and emotion of the living beings that share our world.
