PAINTING
 Barbara specialises in
painting Australiana on silk. Her zest for life and love of the
bush is evident in her strong, ornate paintings. The use of silk
adds luminosity to the vibrant colour and decorative contour.
Barbara has brought joy to many through her paintings and product.
She has held numerous exhibitions both in Australia and overseas,
including Japan (Osaka & Nagoya), Germany, England, Jordan and
Saudi Arabia.
