Barbara Graham

Barbara is a full time abstract expressionist painter with a BFA(Hons) from Wimbledon College of Art. Graham draws inspiration from the philosopher Ekart Tolle who believes that life’s meaning is to be found in the joy of the present moment. Graham’s paintings are a collection of marks brought together like notes in a piece of music, each mark stands alone for an individual moment, yet they all work together in a harmonious whole to capture a moment and feeling in time.
