Born in Atlanta Georgia, Barbara was inspired by the southern charm of the city and its surrounding small towns.  She relocated to Detroit Michigan and fell in love with its newfound renaissance, which can be seen in her contemporary abstract art.  Barbara’s work can be found in public and private art collections both in the United States and abroad.  She also works closely with fashion designers to coordinate her work with their clothing to bring art to the runway.        Art has been a passion for her and she loves to listen to her client's life story and create a special piece that is unique to them and their story.  Each project often consists of multiple created works, often in a range of different mediums, grouped around specific themes and meanings. During the creative process it is often quite typical that new ideas arise which then inspire and lead to the next great body of work.  By working this way, Barbara feels that the imagination stays free and provides many opportunities for happy accidents to occur that make each and every project all the more special.
