Current Art Exhibit
Barbara McVey Art Exhibit April — June 2012
During the 1960's, Barbara began her journey into the world of art through oil painting classes. She discovered that the patterns and forms were endless, expressing myriads of emotions and visions of beauty. She loved the dance of colors as she moved the paint over the canvas bringing images to life.
In the late 1970's, Barbara switched the focus of her creative energies into working with special education students. Upon retirement, in 1999, she began a 5 year project of teaching art history and techniques of the Masters to elementary students, k-6.
In addition to teaching art to the children, she became an art student once again. She took classes in drawing, color theory, watercolor, and oil pastels. She also returned to working with oils. With the oils, she felt her heart open and sing. As the colors flowed over the canvas a story of color, structure and movement were revealed.
She has exhibited on multiple occasions at the St. Claire gallery in El Cajon and the La Jolla Artists Association Gallery in La Jolla. Additionally, her work is shown at San Diego Art Department, Museum of the Living Artist in Balboa Park, Family Superior Court House, El Cajon City Hall, multiple retirement homes throughout San Diego County.
She is a member of the La Jolla Artists Association, the San Diego Museum of Art Artist Guild, the Museum of the Living Artist as well as the Associate Fine Artist of San Diego.
Currently she belongs to Fusion Art International working under the guidance of Master Artist Rassouli.
