About the Artist:
Barbara Healy is a contemporary award-winning artist working in oils and acrylics. A Connecticut native, Barbara fell in love with the South Coast, and her husband Shaun, while getting her BFA at UMASS Dartmouth and stayed.
Her degree in textile design has given her a background in color but she often paints plein air to learn from nature. Her studio in Dartmouth, MA has been on the South Coast Artists Open Studio Tour for 14 years. She is a Juried Artist Member of The National Association of Women Artists, Cape Cod Art Center, and also teaches painting.
About the Exhibit:
I have a deep connection to the natural world that I see through the eyes of an artist.
My paintings capture a moment or memory of wonder, joy, and beauty, something special that caught my eye. Paintings are inspired by the diverse colors of light, atmosphere, and nature in the coastal landscape where I live.
I look for what is unique to convey a sense of place. Although often evoked by a fleeting moment, I translate in paint to transcend time. Brushstrokes over glimpses of color intentionally reveal some of the painting process.
