My work expresses a love of systems and a catalog of feelings: I am in the continual process of observing,
analyzing and releasing information using a geometric containment format and processing my life’s experiences
with the freedom of brush into colors and feelings. I am currently creating WINDOWS of Geometric Abstract paintings,
utilizing lush, high-melt oil in wax and low, flat acrylic paint surfaces in asymmetrical, overlapping rectilinear compositions.
The effect is subtle movement within the window of paint.
—Barbara Kerwin, 2008
