Barbara Mink

Born in 1953, Buffalo New York. Lived in Ithaca NY since 1976. "The space of an unpainted canvas is both a challenge and an invitation to enter the zone between intention and spontaneity. I work towards an end point that joins the two, searching for forms that convey immediacy." Barbara Mink works in large-scale abstract acrylics. "Her best work ... is all about forces of potential energy and dissipating light. Romantic, stormy skies glinting a greenish tint, seem more interior than any traditional landscape painter might portray. Her medium size canvases feature glazes of emulsified oil paint, framing a world of contemplation."
