Barbara Ketcham

Barbara’s background in commercial art has led in a long and circuitous route to finally giving in to the curiosity of color and light through oil paints.

Painting takes her away from distractions and into a place of focus and balance; creating the colors, observant of the light source, recognizing details that would’ve otherwise been overlooked.

It is a continual trial-and error, work-in-progress. Each hopeful attempt creates a new teaching moment that she hopes will help to convey the joy and satisfaction that painting brings to her.
