Barbara Flowers

Tuesday, September 16th, 2014

Barbara Flowers is an international artist who lived most of her life in a small village near the Rhine Valley in Germany. A deep desire to create art began at a young age. Barbara’s parents encouraged her artistic growth with private art lessons and visits to Europe’s museums to see the collections of masterpieces.

Barbara’s art may include energetic brushwork, palette knife work, soft passages of blended paint or a heavy build-up of paint.  She strives for just enough variety without too much unity so as to capture the viewer’s attention.
Barbara’s work is held in international private and corporate collections.

There’s one significant difference, however, that sets him apart from other artists who create similar work – Oprisco shoots using old-school film photography.

And, he does it all with an old $50 film camera.
