BIOGRAPHY

Blue in Green is a series of paintings by Barbara Smith (b. 1987 Rockford, IL) that, in the tradition of color field painters and abstractionists, attempts to display a purity of pigment and expression. Each painting was improvised not unlike a jazz tune, and each painting has a song or series of songs “embedded” in them.  In the course of painting, Barbara attempts to connect with feelings of euphoria, fear, mania, grief, lust, balance, loss, love, and peace.
