Barbara Colangelo

 

 

A resident of Sarasota Florida, I am originally from Ocean, New Jersey. After graduating from the Newark School of Fine Art, I designed for the Dan River Textile Company in New York City creating designs for fabric, and then taught art to elementary school students. Also, during that time, I owned my own art gallery, “The Art Loft”, which provided a location for local New Jersey artists to exhibit and sell their work

 

 

I have been painting since I can remember and in all media. I prefer watercolor media, sometimes with pen and ink detail, acrylic textures, watermedia tissue, and some collage. This creative process gives a unique appearance to each painting resulting in diverse styles. My passion for brilliant colors and flowers reflects in my work

 

 

 

My paintings are exhibited and sold in local, national and international juried shows, exhibitions and galleries. I have received awards for my artwork and have numerous paintings

in private collections worldwide
