As an aspiring artist, I received my formal art training at the Philadelphia Museum School and at the University of Buffalo. I work in oil paints and colored pencils. As a resident of Western New York, I was very active in many art societies. I was an organizer of the River Walk Arts Festival of Tonawanda, New York. I was juried into the National Women’s Art exhibit and received many awards while a member of Fine Arts League of Buffalo and the Williamsville Art Society. Since moving to Columbus, Ohio I have placed third in the fall 2008 art show and won the People’s Choice Award at the Worthington Area Art League of Worthington, Ohio. I have also placed 2nd at WAAL in the Fall of 2010..In 2009 Fall I had an Honorable Mention award. barbararores@yahoo.com
