Frequently Asked Questions

Please review the questions and answers below prior to e-mailing Barbara. We will attempt to post most questions that we receive on this page of our website.

1. Who is your favorite artist; who most inspires you and your work?

I don't know that I have one favorite artist because there are so many that I have admired throughout my life. Authur Hughes, John William Waterhouse, Janny Wurts, and Brian Froud to name a few. On my Main Page you will find a hyperlink for Links. I love all of these artists and they have all touched and inspired me. Please note that they are not listed in any order of preference.

2. How are you producing your prints?

We use a combination of archival high-gloss HP Paper and HP Vivera Inks,  which have been certified by the leading independent image permanence test lab, Wilhelm Imaging Research, Inc. (WIR), to last 105+ years. In the future, as our business grows, we will undoubtedly turn to commercial laser and lithographic printing. We will always be committed to producing a product that will last for many years. As we transition to different printing methods for individual pieces of art we will identify the process in the product description.

3. What medium do you prefer to work in?

Although my art is always changing, my favorite mediums are acrylics, water colors, pen and ink, pencil, clay, and mixed media. I also create using PhotoShop.

4. What else do you like to do?

My favorite interests in addition to my family and art are nature, gardening, music, history, and fantasy movies like Lord of the Rings, Legends, Ever After, The Dark Crystal etc. (I could go on forever.) My husband and I have recently been enjoying Hayao Miyazaki's anime movies. I like to think that my interests are rather free-spirited and eclectic.

5. May I reproduce your art, use it on my website, etc?
