Barbara Smenner
Barbara was born in Blue Ridge, Georgia. Most of her childhood years were spent in Chattanooga, Tennessee and living in the coal-mining camps of West Virginia. She had the desire to paint and create at an early age. Studying with a succession of distinguished artists has given her knowledge to bring out her own style of painting in oils, watercolor, and acrylics, and making her more aware of seeing color, light, and composition.

Barbara and her husband enjoy traveling around the United States in their RV.  They especially enjoy the Western and North Western States where they paint, sketch and photograph all the beautiful place they visit.  Other travels have included Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and Italy.

 Teaching adults as well as children gives Barbara the pleasure of building self-esteem in others. She exhibits her work in various places and private commission work is accepted in most subjects, especially portrait and floral.

Barbara has always felt that you will receive back far more knowledge from someone you have helped than all of the knowledge you have given them.
