About Barb's Process

My art is spontaneous and playful, resulting in work that has intrigue and interest.

I love that inks are a medium which lends themselves to unexpected discoveries, and emerge as fascinating, unique paintings.

I am inspired by nature, relationships, experiences, and the complexity these interactions create in our lives and I believe that inks replicate life. They mix and mingle, creating layers upon layers of experiences. What remains after the alcohol evaporates is an impression of the inks presence on the surface; thusly the name of my website: impressiveart.ca.

I appreciate the freedom that inks offer from the seemingly predictability of life.

Artist Bio

Oil painting since the age of 9, Barb has spent the past 50 years discovering and exploring the various media available to artists. When she found inks, she claims she could have thrown out all other media in her art room. But, of course, she didn’t.

She has studied under several local and international artists and enjoys researching and exploring works by early abstract expressionists. She easily becomes enthralled in the process of painting and enjoys having no preconceived notions of what a piece will look like until it’s done. She finds the unpredictability both refreshing and freeing.
