BARBARA WRIGHT

ARTISTIC VERSATILITY

Artistic versatility best describes Barbara's style. She is equally skilled at creating landscsapes, portraits, abstracts, wildlife art and Native American paintings. She specializes in contemporary landscapes and images of Native Americans, taken from their tribal history, religion and legend. Iconic images of females are one of her primary artistic challenges, and creating the 13 Clan Mother sketches has been her most recent challenge. The clan mother paintings are inspired by the descriptive passages in Jamie Sams’ book, The 13 Original Clan Mothers. She studied studio arts, majoring in painting, at Cal State Los Angeles as an undergraduate student. Photography, her hobby, enables her to capture landscapes which she translates into dynamic paintings, using expressionistic colors, in her studio. Her work is in private collections in the USA and Europe. In Colorado, her work is currently at Gallery K in Evergreen, Elk Ridge Art Company in Golden, Dos Amigas in Evergreen, Canaan Gallery in Littleton and Might As Well Gallery in Cherry Hills. Her media are primarily acrylic, watercolor, gouache and waterbased oil paints. She accepts privately commissioned paintings. Barbara lived in Europe for 19 years and recently moved to Colorado from California. Colorado's landscape has inspired a major body of landscape work, currently on display at Gallery K in Evergreen and Elk Ridge Art in Golden.

HOW TO BE AN ART COLLECTOR

Visit art galleries, go with an artist. Don't be intimidated! Read art books. Buy what you like, like what you buy! Be fearless about art and artists. Be open to information, use art to meet new people. Buy within your budget ! Buy on the payment plan! Make art and artists a lifelong study, take art appreciation classes! Don't buy art to make money! Don't always believe art critics, go see for yourself! Don't always match your sofa. Feel good about art, tell your friends, get to know artists you like. Invite an artist to dinner. Avoid trends. Acquire art with your eyes, not your ears! Support artists in your area. Become art literate on purpose. Take time, slow down - put some art in your life!
