Barbara is from Clarkston, Michigan. She moved to Florida in 1979 and began painting in 1992. She paints mostly with watercolors, but ventures into acrylics for some dramatic abstracts. Barbara has great variety in her work, from jungle animals to whimsical abstracts, as in her "Dancing Ladies" and stilt house series. Her colors are bright and her design eye-catching. Her most recent abstract series,"City Lights",is done in rich, dark reds, browns, golds and blues. It is an after-dark abstract cityscape that causes the viewer to search for the hidden mysteries which are waiting to be discovered.
Barbara's work can be viewed at the WildChild Gallery in Matlacha and the Art League of Fort Myers. Barbara participates in many Art Shows throughout the year. You can e-mail her at barbmurdochart@aol.com or call her at 239-768-0577.
