Poetic Landscapes


(click on PHOTO to view Press Release)

Barbara Lee Smith has brought surface design and machine embroidery to a new artistic level by fusing layer upon layer of synthetic fabric and using the stitch as a drawing tool. Her surfaces are rich with color, painted, printed, and collaged, stitched drawings. The organic shapes and elusive colors build to become a complex and intriguing environment that can be contemplated at great length. Her love of luminous color is evident in all her work. Barbara has taught, exhibited and lectured nationally and internationally. Her work is included in several prominent museums and public collections.
