Barbara Smith Gioia

Barbara Smith Gioia is inspired by process. Her interest in painting, printmaking and collage has culminated in mixed media paintings that are tactile, graphic and painterly all at once. The works can include silkscreen, woodcut and monotype prints as well as charcoal, india ink and acrylics. Entering her mixed media paintings is like tumbling into life itself; exuberant and energetic.
