BIO


                Barbara Lidfors - BIO / VITA 

        I grew up in St. Paul, Minnesota, across the street from the college where my father was an art professor. I discovered early on that something magical happened            whenever I sat at our kitchen table strewn with colored pencils, paints and paper. Art continued to be important to me in the ensuing years as I honed my technical          art skills and shared them in various teaching situations. In 2001 I earned an MFA degree and began painting full-time. The many decades I lived in Germany were            years that focused my artistic direction and opened up exciting opportunities to exhibit over 100 times in numerous countries. Apparently my artistic impulse finds          joy in painting the people and places that I encounter wherever I happen to be. I look for significance, beauty and meaning in the life around me.  And I gladly                  share this with those who view my works.
