Bio
With a BFA in Drawing and Painting (Kutztown University, Pennsylvania, USA) artist Barbara Kacicek has exhibited in numerous museum and invitational exhibitions including 'Getting Real: 20th Century American Realism from the Philip Desind Collection' and most recently 'Contemporary Imaginings: the Howard A. and Judith Tullman Collection'. Her award-winning work is featured in North Light Books' 'How to Discover Your Personal Painting Style'. Barbara’s chief influences are the Old and Modern Masters, the sky (clouds, stars, wind, phases of the moon), the quality and color of shifting light, walking, standing still, the creative pursuits of her husband and daughter, the poetry of singer-songwriters, day dreams, night dreams, the human figure, fruit, water, her hands. All of Barbara's paintings are made with the highest quality oil colours on oil primed linen or cotton panels, stretched primed linen or cotton canvas, or gessoed panels. All are framed.

Artist statement
My small alla prima skies, landscapes and still-lifes are a reflection my quiet, contemplative existence. Usually bathed in the light of the ‘magic hour’, my painted subjects are imbued with a sense of mystery, memory and poetry under thoughtful, careful observation. Surrounded by beauty, my intent is to capture fleeting moments of shifting light over clouds, over trees, over fruit, over drapery, over skin – each one a unique, rapturous meditation on form, light and color.
