At times whimsical, and other times wistful, Barbara’s work explores themes of love, renewal, spirituality and pop culture. “Starting with an idea and responding to chance and serendipity, I allow my instincts to guide me. Working intuitively, I rearrange visual elements and place them in unlikely settings combining the real to create the surreal.”
One of Barbara’s pieces has been selected to be on the cover of Graphic Design USA magazine, Sept/Oct issue. You can see it on their blog and learn more about the competition: http://blog.gdusa.com/digital-print-cover-contest-winners/

Here is a synopsis of tonight’s film, Mile…Mile & A Half. In an epic snow year, five friends leave their daily lives behind to hike California’s historic John Muir Trail, a 211-mile stretch from Yosemite to Mt. Whitney (the highest peak in the contiguous U.S.). Their goal — to complete the journey in 25 days while capturing the amazing sights & sounds they encounter along the way.
Inspired by their bond, hu
mor, artistry & dedication, the group continues to grow to include other artists, musicians & adventure seekers. Before they all reach the summit, hikers and viewers alike affirm the old adage — it’s about the journey, not the destination. Mile… Mile & A Half is the feature-length documentary of that journey.
From 8:00 pm – 9:30 – stay for the party and meet the filmmakers
