About Babs
I'm a narrative sculptor navigating her way through the ever-changing currents in what feels like an art ocean. Whether appreciating the calm rhythm of calls for art and exhibiting, or waiting to catch a big wave of inspiration to take me to the top. I just love being in the water.
Formerly a pickle packer, theater major, crisis counselor and occupational therapist with a BA in Communications and a BS in Occupational Therapy, only to discover I've always been an artist.
My work grows from a strong connection to people and a passion for discovering the beauty in ordinary things. I sculpt figuratively in clay, utilizing the female form and women’s themes. Frequently my inspiration is drawn from childhood memories and my own short poems. Like each of us as humans every work is uniquely influenced by the past and present and has a narrative.

Hi Barbara,
I love the way your piece turned out! Bravo! I just got my entry sent off in the nick of time as well. I re-shot three out of the five of my St. agatha pieces as a triptych and I’m keeping my fingers crossed for both of us. Maybe we could end up delivering the work together or something…
Hope to see you again before long!
Thanks Christy, I ended up giving the girls cloths like Corrine suggested. The title I gave this one is “Good Old Girls Network”. I submitted another bust as well. Wish I could be there when she juries. It would be great to get some feedback from such a well versed critic.
Beautiful piece – I love the colors
Thank you Margaret.
