“Thank you so much for your book, Sylvan Reflections. It is truly beautiful on many levels. Your perspectives in thought and painting etc are grounded in love. Thank you many times over. This is a deeply spiritual gift you have created. This book is for me in these times, I will be getting more to share. I hope your world is doing well. As all this swirling energy keeps fear on the move the trees and their energies keep us all grounded and able to regenerate I feel.” ~JM

“… this is such good work!  Your vision and embrace of depth and light is so clear … an even more accurate reflection than photography would render … I think your whole attitude — of not knowing in the first place, and being open to what wants to be shared … and your desire to share these wondrous moments with the rest of us … something is so open, so clear, and so soft … you really have a gift!

Thanks for sharing!”  ~KA

“I just wanted to say I absolutely love your beautiful book of ponderings, wanderings and paintings.  It is a real treasure and will make a lovely gift for a few like-minded nature-loving friends that I am planning to give copies to.  I feel like I am in the tranquility and lushness of the forest when tripping through its pages.” ~PH

“This book is so beautiful, the artwork, poems, the journey through the forest, I love it….

As someone who has been practically bedbound since last December because of a relapse in M.E/fibromyalgia illness, this is so good for my soul, my spirit. I am a meditator, and the commentary, music and beautiful, exquisite images of the forest with all its magic and hidden life are inspirational. I feel that I have just taken a walk with you through the forest. Thank you, blessings, namaste” ~SS

“As I gazed at your Cathedral painting, I felt a rush of feeling throughout my body I have come to call an integrated feeling of the sacred magical and connected sense of myself as an integral holy (wholey) part of Universe . . . ” ~SD

“Your book is exquisite, as are your paintings. You have a gift. Your video transports one into the forest in the most magical of ways.” ~SS

“Congratulations Barbara ! I love your work and your passion in everything you do. You are so talented and I appreciate you sharing your beautiful photos and paintings. Your knowledge in your writings all combined take us so many places that most of us would never experience.” ~DM

“Barbara in a world full of power lines, motor cars and ringing phones- you are a breath of fresh air and a pause – to absorb such beauty. You transform my days. You share that the planet is indeed a beautiful world.” ~RMK

“Barbara this is sublime, and I love your way of looking at things.

I too believe in the circles of life, regeneration, the continuance, the need to die off of nature, and humanity, reincarnation.

Thank you so much for the pleasure you’ve given both with your art and your words.

In Peace, Love and Harmony” ~HD
