Barb Unes

“Painting gives me joy”... My high school art teacher gave me my first opportunities with Art. The enrichment I gained from those experiences lead me to teaching which became my profession.

Although I worked corporately for many years, Art and teaching has always been my first love. As a teacher it is important to explain to students what they are learning, why they are learning it and how that relates to the “world around us.” My Art business “Art Around Us” reflects my teaching goal to keep art relevant to the real world.

In the last year I have begun to explore Pastels. Their vibrant colors and the speed of which they can create a complete composition appeals to me. I also incorporated Pastels into Mixed Media artwork.
