Comments:
"...Barbara’s paintings (are) captivating and uplifting. They draw one into an unknown dimension, as if one passes through a magic screen into an enchanted world of shifting light, colour and energy. The range and varied intensity of the colours, the sense of lightness and the open-ended nature of the whole work have instant appeal and fascination and speak a universal language." (Denise Outen, UK)

"...c'est magnifique, absolument magnifique! L'émotion poétique, la douceur et la tendresse colorée..."
("...it's magnificent, absolutely magnificent! Poetic emotion, gentleness and tenderness in colors...")
(Emanuelle Robinson, USA)
