"Riding horseback through the desert or over the mountains... feeling the warm wind on my face or listening to the soft crunch of the snow under the horses' hooves...
"These experiences - and riding horseback twenty miles through the pristine Bridger Wilderness in Wyoming, over the same trails as Jim Bridger and his party as they ventured into the vast unknown wilderness - evoke memories and feelings that influence my work today. I enjoy a sense of freedom, yet an attachment to this land and its people.
"The land and subjects are a never ending source of light, space and design that take on an excitement when playing lights against darks, warm colors against cool, soft and hard edges. New challenges are faced with each work as I strive to create, through oil painting, the sensitivity, complexity, beauty and aesthetics that invite the viewer to visually enter and enjoy each painting - that once was once a moment in time!" - Barbara Sullivan |

"My
inspiration is conjured from my love of the British
countryside,
in particular the traditions
of rural pursuits. It is the people, who, generation
after generation, carry forward the simple traditions
with a profound
and connected passion that intrigues me and helps connect
me to my art. They say that the people are the salt of
the earth. The passion for life and art is in the blood.
Awakened,
it is inescapable."

"Living
in the American west, I enjoy painting the people and the land
- especially Native American women and children. I strive to
capture a deeper, sensative, personal side of my subjects while
preserving the nostalgia of the Old West, a love that fills
my soul. My great-grandmother was Native American from the
Iroquois Family.
