Bärbel Smith
Acrylic on Canvas
"Bärbel Smith, a contemporary Canadian artist, creates vibrant, semi-representational landscape paintings that capture the spiritual essence of the Canadian wilderness, inspired by the Group of Seven, Emily Carr, and her childhood in Huntsville, Ontario. Trained at the Alberta University of the Arts, she has exhibited widely since the 1980s, with her acrylic-on-canvas works—featuring stylized trees, glowing reflections, and a joyous palette—held in private and corporate collections across Canada, the U.S., and internationally. A juried signature member of the Society of Canadian Artists (SCA), Ontario Society of Artists (OSA), and Federation of Canadian Artists (AFCA), Bärbel has earned accolades, including the SCA’s Award of Merit, the Artistic Expression Award and is represented by galleries such as Koyman Galleries, Galerie Bloom, Eclipse Gallery and Butter Gallery."
