The Enchanting Nostalgia of Barbara Smith
The gardens of flora and fauna of nature's canvases.....with their never ending array of forms, colors, and textures.....are a constant enjoyment and inspiration to Barbara Smith as an artist. "By surrounding myself within this panoramic display, makes it a natural for its depiction on my own canvas. The incantations of the Irises, Liatris and Ivy tempt my brush in the nostalgic settings of things of the past. My sensitivities to these evasive subjects become captive and are then bountingly painted in the mistiest hues of my palette."
Barbara Smith is best known for her romantic and colorful oil paintings reminiscent of days gone by. In everything she paints, her love for flowers, wicker, lace and weathered stone shine through.
Barbara was born in Brooklyn, New York. She studied at Tyler School of Fine Arts at Temple University, Pratt Institute and Art Students League of New York. Her work has been exhibited in several of the finest art galleries across the United States. She was the illustration artist for the book As The Leaves Fall Down as well as the book jacket designer for Through The Garden Gate.
