About the Item
Liz Barber pursued painting while obtaining her degree from the Massachusetts College of Art and Moore College of Art. She currently resides in Marietta, Georgia. Barber’s paintings are layered bursts of energy inspired by nature’s movement, blending the here and now with memories. Forms and lines fall into a sea of emotion. Shapes and reflections drift into volumetric configurations. This effect captures the essence of nature’s light - creating an artistic metaphor; opaque, airy, thick & organic.
Barber’s process engages multimedia – she pours colors onto the canvas and observes with intuition as she edits - in a manner similar to the impressionist mindset. There is a constant attention to create light within the work through color pairings and their interactions. Liz Barber’s works are an emotional response to her physical surroundings; a moment is captured not as a pastoral landscape but as the glow of light and the movement of forms. Her tendency leans to the calm, soothing organic application over vigorous brushstroke.
Translucency is created via different techniques - water and other mediums are added to the materials to allow for spontaneous incidental reactions. She then uses definition in the oil paint to refine, unearthing the gems from the underlying layers. Mark making in the painting serves as a resting place for the eye and adds diversity from the organic shapes in her work. Barber also uses graphite and oil pastel as drawn elements.
The most common recurring theme in Barber’s work is nature; the ocean, the seasons, nature’s elements, and nature’s many forms & shapes. These shapes serve as anchors for the mind to stop and reflect upon.
She pulls from distinctive color palettes as the seasons change - utilizing subtle and intense color interaction alternately to create depth and space.

Liz Barber
Liz Barber is a distinguished contemporary artist known for her light-infused paintings inspired by the ocean and water. Soft & sultry vibrant abstracts will sweep you away. Barber studied painting at the Massachusetts College of Art and Moore College of Art in Philadelphia, and currently is based in Georgia, USA. Commissions and permanent collections include: The Beverly Hills Hotel, The Cosmopolitan Resort and Casino in Las Vegas, Yale New Haven Hospital in New Haven, CT, The Ritz Carlton and The Four Seasons Hotels. Barber’s method is varied, first using ink, gouache and watercolour to lay the foundation of the artwork. These translucent “footprints” are manipulated and circulated around
to form the composition. She uses graphite and oil pastel to create drawn elements. Mark making plays a big role in the language of Barber’s work while also acting as a resting place for the eye. Translucency, texture, and layers are created in epic proportion in Barber’s paintings and are the result of her varied experimentation process. These organic bursts of energy inspired by nature's movement are the result of adding water and other mediums to the materials. Leaning towards calm, soothing organic application over the vigorous brushstroke, Barber applies more distinct edges with oil paint to pronounce the gems in the underlying layers. "My paintings are layered bursts of energy inspired by nature's movement, fusing the present with memories. Form, line and color fall into a sea of emotion. Shapes and reflections drift into volumetric configurations. I feel this effect captures nature's essence; forceful texture and gentle luminosity." - Liz Barber
