About the Artist
For many years, Barbara Levine has focused her artwork on expressing the human spirit by painting intimate scenes of everyday life. Today she explores the outdoors surrounding her home in Corvallis, Oregon and then makes rich, playful paintings to show her appreciation for nature's offerings. As an artist, she has worked in many mediums, including pastel, gouache, oil, paper collage and watercolor, but her current favorite is fluid acrylics. She also combines wood, metal, cement and found objects to create whimsical garden sculpture.
Barbara also teaches drawing and painting to children through ArtCentric, the art center in her hometown. She loves sharing ideas with children and is continually delighted by their enthusiasm and creativity. In response, she tries to capture their freshness, boldness and imagination in her own artwork.
