"Barbara's art is centered around an openness of human emotion evoking joy, fuel for frustration, doubt and boredom.  Sexuality and sensuality are expressed as freely as the daily rituals of shaving or flossing.  The characters are representative of the available and the hidden components of each of us.  A key element in Barbara's work is the exploitation of the mundane with the reveal or a twist.  It is the parallel life that repeats itself over and over bridging all of our human barriers.  Our secret worlds are therefore revealed through each other in each moment - presented and archived on canvas."

Barbara Kinard was born and raised across the United States as well as Germany.  She shares her life with her brilliant and funny husband and their two happy babies.  Barbara is based out of Santa Monica, California.
