Candian artist Barbara Mc Givern's qualification: Art's sake, followed by the Toronto Scool of Art and the Ontario College of art, AOCA, SCA finishing in 1988.
Her work is defined by a rich exoticism. Evident in the luxurious hues, opulent gold
and evocative interpretation of the subject matter, Barbara is an artist who enjoys the formidable challenge of converting real image into abstract forms.
The size of her work is ambitious as is the detail which she incorporates into each canvas. The results are vivid, stimulating and often controversial and are designed to move spectators and embolden walls, they spark a reaction wherever they are positioned.
