Barb is one of the founding members of the Mandurah Plein Air Artists. She enjoys time spent painting outdoors, being in the moment and capturing beautiful surroundings.
Travelling has stimulated her artistic development and provides the subject matter for a lot of her paintings. It was during these holidays that the joy of painting “en plein air” became evident. More recently, Barb’s travels have focused on painting the majesty of the New Zealand landscape. These artworks, painted on location across the South Island of New Zealand, will be presented at this year’s Mandurah Open Studios. Some were painted in rural locations, from the side of the road, and others at busy tourist lookouts – each one has its own unique story and connection to place.
Barb says “Painting en plein air focuses the senses. It connects you directly with your subject and enhances the comprehension of colour and light. Being able to capture and convey that sense of place leaves an indelible memory of a fleeting moment in time”.
Her distinctive palette knife technique creates an energetic response to the landscape, engaging and impacting the viewer.
