Barbara
has no formal training in the arts but always having had a passion
for classical sculpture and especially the female form.
She
felt a compelled and driven to increase her knowledge and to try
to create herself pieces using various forms, techniques and mediums
A latent
talent emerged and though eight years of trial and error has now
mastered the various media.
She
crafts pieces in various types of clay, plaster, resin, cement and
bronze as well as carving in slate and stone.
Though
much of her work consists of creating commissioned portrait busts,
finished in bronze or resin but her first and foremost love will
always be creating a female form figure
She
believes that the Female figure is always the most important shape
in the universe. "It is what has formed us all."
Her
sculptures are celebrations of the female form.
They
examine the phenomena of grace, possess a quiet strength and powerful
gentleness and create a sense of presence within themselves - requiring
the viewer to accept them as a measure of his/her own immortality.
She
works mostly on a commission basis and is willing to discuss the
particular wishes of any client.
