| Barbara Felisky |
| Barbara Felsky is known for rich impressionist paintings of gardens and landscapes. The afternoon sun warming a wall in Provence, an embankment of towering rhododendrons spilling into the moat of the ruins castle, or a glorious profusion of roses climbing over a mellow brick garden gate all give a sense of serenity in our hectic world. Extensive travel in Europe and the United States provides inspiration for a variety of Felsky’s paintings. Each year she seeks out a new area to explore and photograph, returning to the studio revitalized and refreshed. However, Britain, rich with the pull of its scenery and gardens, still holds a special fascination. Felsky’s shrubs, while on the stone walls, bridges, garden pools, and paths draw the viewer deep into the quiet tranquility of the English countryside. Felsky was born in Chicago, Illinois, and currently has her studio in Southern California. She received a Bachelor of Art degree from the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor. Her award-winning work has been shown in a number of major juried exhibitions all over the United States. Her paintings and prints have been shown in galleries in London as well as in the United States and are found in many private and corporate collections. Felsky, whose biography appears in “Who’s Who in American Art,” has also been featured in American Artist magazine on a number of occasions. The Franklin Mint has produced a plate featuring an English country scene by Felsky. The Lenox Collection is also offering plates in two series: one of Victorian homes and the other of romantic garden landscapes. |
