"Although Barbara loves experimenting with many different materials, her main body of work centers around line work with coffee, with a clear fascination for facial expressions and the female shape, lots of attention to detail and patterning. She enjoys incorporating symbols into her paintings, giving them additional depth and personal meaning. Her work is regularly present in international shows, at collaborative non-profit events and in many private collections."
