Color and texture are the driving forces behind Barbara’s work. She is
a surface designer working on silk which is the centerpiece of her
constructions. Barbara has been a dyer for 20+ years employing
techniques such as screen printing; resist based designs, and the
Japanese Shibori dyeing techniques of Itajime and Arashi all to get that
elusive texture on cloth through color.
Barbara's constructions sometimes take a 3D form that allows them to
be viewed from different directions or in 2D pieces that appear to float
on the wall giving them dimension. She also combines her silk with
metal exploring the interesting play of the softness of silk with the silk-
like surface/texture of the metal.
Barbara's artwork has been widely exhibited in regional and
international juried shows.
