Barbara Gillette Price

My work consists of paintings, works on paper and drawings that reflect my artistic journey from 1957 to the present. While the subject, theme and context of the work have changed, that which remains constant is the role of color - intense, decorative, mysterious and symbolic; the dialogue between perception and reality; and, the use of drawing, which is both descriptive and interpretive and functions as the architecture of the paintings.

Born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, I studied art during my formative years winning a Board of Education scholarship to study at the Philadelphia Museum School of Art (University of the Arts). I married the abstract expressionist painter Melville Price and relocated to the University of Alabama at Tuscaloosa where he served as artist-in-residence. I earned a BFA and MA at the University of Alabama.
