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 Oakville/Mississauga area and considers her own education to be an on-going journey. Enjoy!
