I am an artist, gardener, surfer and environmentalist living and working in South Australia, on Ramindjeri/Ngarrindjeri Country. This website illustrates & describes the various practices that reflect my 'soul's purpose'. Part work, part lifestyle, all these elements are interconnected, much as we are with each other, with planet Earth, all living things, and with life in general. I am primarily a painter and a colourist, but as you explore this website you will come to appreciate the range and depth of my work, which is motivated largely by the natural world and encouraging love, reverence, and understanding of it.
Works are for sale unless indicated as SOLD, please contact me via the guestbook or email me on barbaryobrien@hotmail.com for prices and details. Thankyou.
This site gets updated regularly with new ideas and images, so keep watching this space!
Please check out the NEWS section for a selected CV. Thanks.
