Meet the Artist - Barbara Shapiro

Barbara Shapiro's artist's reception date has been rescheduled for July 8 from 2- 4 p.m. as her initial reception on June 10th was cancelled to a water main break in town. Come and enjoy refreshments and meet the artist! 

For this artist, there is harmony between abstraction and figuration. They both allow for a delicacy and boldness that stems from an interaction between line, color and balance. 

Of her multi-media figurative work the artist states: "I appreciate and exploit the sensitivity of working from life by creating both delicate drawings and bold paintings. I do them on both paper and polyester film utilizing acrylic paint, charcoal pencils, soft pastels, oil pastels, watercolor and pastel pencils.

Of her abstract work the artists states: "my multi-media abstract work is often more dramatic and experimental in both my paintings and prints. I am a printmaker who travels between monotypes, pronto plate lithographs, dry points and carborundum prints that are done on either paper or film.
