| (previous / next) Barbara Rockhold To me, painting is a way of creatively expressing what's going on inside...both my mind and my heart. Whether it be an experience of beauty, of struggle, of love, or of pain, I hope to express that through my art. My goal is to have the viewer see and identify with that full range of emotions that life offers us. Life is not all light or all darkness...and that's what makes it interesting. I hope to express an experience of transcendence of our situations, and also to convey a sense of play and irony...to show that while life may have its ups and downs, we can appreciate the humor and mystery it gives us. While my inspiration comes through my own heart and mind, I’m inspired by artists such as Dali, Magritte, Frida Kahlo and Georgia O’Keefe. I admire them because they had the courage to share part of their souls with us. Their work not only shows depth and skill, but gives us something to think about and perhaps makes us reflect on our own lives in a different, more meaningful light. My educational background is Psychology and Art, so I try to combine those two interests in my work. I've been a co-owner of a graphic design business, a graphic designer and instructor at Contra Costa College, an ad designer at The Daily Californian newspaper, an arts and crafts teacher and a volunteer art therapist. I'm currently concentrating my time on my painting. View Barbara Rockhold website please call 510-523-6957 or email us info@frankbettecenter.org
