Barbara studied Visual Arts at Swansea (BA [Hons]), graduated in 1995, then a PGCE in Art & Design (Secondary Education) at UWIC in 1997. She returned home to lecture in Art and Design and Photography at Pembrokeshire College.

She draws her inspiration from her love of Pembrokeshire and travels throughout the UK and abroad.

She works in various media, such as 35mm film, pinhole photography, digital photography and silkscreen printing, combined with mixed-medium painting.

Barbara has exhibited her work throughout Pembrokeshire in solo and group exhibitions, in Llantwit Major, Carmarthen, The Royal Cambrian Academy, Conwy and London.

For her latest mixed-medium work, she used canvas board, acrylic paint, text and collage. The work is layered and scraped back to reveal under-painting and text; onto this, she silkscreen prints her own manipulated photographic images. Each photographic silkscreen is used for one painting only, making each artwork unique.
