Barbara explains that this show and "These works represent an exploration in alcohol ink. For as long as I can remember I have always needed to be creative. I enjoy trying new media and within the last few years have discovered alcohol ink. I love color and the ink has suited me well with their vibrant colors and fluidity. I use nature and shapes to create pieces that I feel are unique and interesting to look at."
