Farmer's Market offerings of fruits, vegetables and
flowers, inspire this accomplished Newport Beach artist. Barbara Baumgartner has found her niche composing subjects in mixed media...paint, papers and paste.

Once the painting is completed she goes back in using a variety of papers to liven up the subject. The process is slow but the result is fascinating because it draws you in to discover how the bits and pieces come together.

Barbara's paintings are fun...they are colorful and show an eye for detail. Her favorite subjects of fruit and vegetables infuse a savory moment.
