Simpson Freelance Artist, Presenting: "Avante barb" A self-taught artist, Barbara Simpson has been creating art for many years. She began seriously drawing and painting at the age of five, literally drawing or painting on every surface that was available every chance she got. For nearly 13 years, she has been working and teaching at her working studio and gallery in Millbrook. Her work includes a variety of subjects and media, covering a multitude of moods and personalities. Although she shifts gears often, changing from one medium to another and going from one extreme to the other with her color palette, her style always comes through. Her work is predominantly acrylic or watercolor, but she also works with casein, oil, pastel, and charcoal. Barbara's work has been selected for such prestigious juried shows as the Energen Art Show in Birmingham, Alabama Wildlife Federation's Annual Flora and Fauna Art Show, Eastern Shore Art Association's Members Juried Show in Fairhope, and the Selma Art Guild's members' juried show. She has won numerous place and purchase awards and most recently received an award of merit in the 2008 AWF Flora and Fauna Art Show. Barbara is a member and past president of Elmore County Art Guild, is a member of the Montgomery Art Guild, the Prattauga Art Guild, Selma Art Guild and Eastern Shore Art Association in Fairhope, and recently joined the Board of SAC's Gallery.
