Barbara Brody is a contemporary colourist who has had a love affair with sunlight, skies and landscapes since the age of three.

Her language of images can be rich, playful, bold, magical and often evoke a spiritual quality. Her work is always alive with her sense of colour and spirit.

"Colours are like breakfast to me. I store them in my mind like others might do with words, films, books, schedules, etc."

"All artists have different ways of working. I have always preferred to work on a series of pieces at one time. I begin by doing many small thumbnail drawings and/or paintings. From those I begin my pieces.. once a rhythm takes hold - I keep working on pieces until the series is complete."

Barbara Brody was born and raised in the Chicago, Illinois area and presently lives in the lush countryside of southern Pennsylvania. Creativity runs throughout her family. Her sons are writers, one sister is a graphic designer, another a sculptor... with cousins and nieces all in creative fields.
