Collection: Kathy Barber

Kathy is a painter and a dedicated abstractionist represented by galleries in Auckland and Christchurch. 

She has always aspired to express an inner tension a thought process rather than an impetuous action. As a painter, her mark making is gestural in broad and fine brushstrokes receptive cursive ramblings wearing through layers of paint. 

I continue to develop and push the boundaries of working with wire. It is a pliable material but with a short memory to breaking point. Delicate yet strong it demands respect.
