Barbara Briggs

I moved to El Paso, TX a year and a half ago. I love the mountains that surround El Paso. I have less space to work in and keep my pieces, but I started to paint. I am also going to start working on some pottery. happened to.. I had cancer 4 times and So far survived each time. This and many other experiences have made me the artist I am.

Right after Ron died I started to make pottery bowls, plates, houses, and abstract objects.

Now it's been over 2 years I have painted some during this time. But I know Ron would want me to go on. So in October of 2016 I signed up here at Saatcji Art. And will start selling again and working again. I am every excited and so are my past clients.
