Barbara Brown began her artistic sojourn many years ago while working with
textiles. This eventually became a bridge to her career as a paper and book artist.
Her pieces are often collaborations with poets, and, for her, there is a certain alchemy that occurs when three dimensional imagery is combined with text.
Barbara has been a member artist of WSG Gallery for six years and curates Beyond Words: A Celebration of Book Arts each year. She has had work in book shows around the country and, in addition, teaches many workshops and classes. She is on the faculty of Hollanders School of Book and Paper Arts in Ann Arbor where she has also been a guiding member of two summer residencies. She was the recipient of the 3rd Annual Kerrytown Community Book Award given at the 2008 Kerrytown BookFest.
