However, it was not until 12 years ago when Barbara and her husband Walt moved to Fairfield Glade that she began to paint seriously.  "After 25 years as a commercial artist I feel I know how to draw", said Barbara.  "Now I am learning how to paint."

Barbara's paintings have won awards at Fairfield Glade, Oak Ridge and Crossville.  She paints in oil or oil sticks and her favorite subjects are landscapes, florals and still life.  Numbered Giclee' prints of her paintings are for sale.
