Barbara Scharpf - June 2013

Barbara is an impasto painter from Middleton, WI. Her paintings vary in size and are all painted/sculpted with acrylic paint onto wooden canvases, which her husband, Ben, crafts for her. Barbara is very inspired by the changing of the seasons, which is evident in her nature- and floral-themed works. Her paintings include aspects from all seasons: bouquets of spring flowers, fields of wildflowers and sunflowers, fall trees, and holiday-themed pieces.
