Barbara Mosher’s love for art, paint and the creative process began with her first “canvas” of cardboard taken from her father’s freshly starched white dress shirts. With her tin container of watercolors and a cheap brush, she painted the blue hydrangeas blooming in her yard on her light brown cardboard.

Barbara attended Center for Creative Studies in Detroit, Michigan and studied Industrial Design. She became one of the very first women designers for General Motors but she continued her painting and creating. Later she owned a graphic design and printing business creating professional logos and business materials.

Barbara's art garners recognition and awards. In 2016, she was listed as one of the 50 to watch in San Diego by the Studio Door. Jazzercize corporate headquarters in Carlsbad, California selected her art for their collection. Barbara is also a writer. Arianna Huffington invited her to tell her story and write about her art and the journey of artists. She currently contributes to Huffington Post and writes “Art as I See It”

Barbara continues to find the most joy in her well-used paint brushes, always remembering where it all began, with those beautiful blue hydrangeas.
