Barbara Chapman

Born on the east coast, Barbara is influenced by the world around her; coastlines, plant-life and the ever-changing sky. Her inspiration comes the land, water and growing things. Initially self-taught, she has completed studies in Art and Art History at Sheridan College and the University of Toronto, including painting, drawing, print-making and textiles. A gentle palette, sensitive brush and knifework create images that speak of place. Barbara also works with many students of oil painting in the Mississauga area and considers her own education to be an on-going journey. Enjoy!
