About Barbara L. Chapman

Barbara begins each work  holding the intention of exploring  a vision  and connection  to the spiritual , emotional and intellectual  aspects of life . Color and texture are the main focus of her work as representative of the beauty , power and vitality of life .   As she guides the materials , the work unfolds and expands ,  often taking on a life of it’s own .  Barbara  layers colors and , in places  ,  scrapes  it away mirroring our vulnerabilities and  creating a world of  texture and depth  .  As in life we carry the layers of our experiences and reveal parts of ourselves  in moments .  She transforms a hard look at the world  into joyous exploration during her creative process renewing the light and hope of possibility for all humankind .

The volunteer work she does with homeless youth at the Sanctuary Art Center in Seattle,W.A. reinforces her drive to express the beauty, grace and courage that can be found in each of us no matter what our circumstances are.  A willingness to see it  is all that’s required.    That experience continues to inspire her work while she seeks new outlets for encouraging creative expression , as a means to healing ,  among struggling  street youth.
