5 out of 5 starsI love this artist's work so much. I hung the two prints I bought on the wall behind my sink, so I have something lovely to look at while I do the dishes.
I will be purchasing more of her work soon. Highly recommended. -

5 out of 5 starsThe art work is so pretty. This will be perfect in my "welcome fall" boxes I make up for my sister inlaws. Very pretty.

About BarbeyBotanicals
My Passion
When I was living outside of New York City, a friend wanted to take a horticulture class at the New York Botanical Garden but did not have the means to get herself to class. I told her I’d be happy to take the class with her and drive her. In looking through the NYBG class catalog I saw a Colored Pencil Botanical Illustration class that just thoroughly intrigued me. While I could not take that class (my work schedule interfered – darn!), I decided to look into some other means of learning that art. I happened upon a wonderful book by a well-known botanical artist and worked my way through that.
Shortly thereafter I retired and moved to Western North Carolina, a most beautiful place, and continued my studies with an on-line course offered by the author of the same book.
My technique is to first draw and then tone an object with either a dark sepia pencil or the compliment of the local color. I then add the color with my colored pencils and often use watercolor pencils as well to heighten and intensify the color.
Today, I spend much of my time drawing and hiking (ostensibly for exercise, but always with an eye to collecting specimens). I feel as though I am in heaven here in the mountains. Having lived all of my life in and around New York City, it is such a pleasure to be here amidst all of God’s beautiful creation.

The wonderful people at Allegra took my original colored pencil illustrations, scanned them and with my direction turned them into these greeting cards.
