Meet Barbara Mosher

Barbara Mosher is a contemporary abstract painter known for large-scale, color-forward work placed in modern residential, commercial, and hospitality environments. Her paintings bring depth, vibrancy, and presence to interiors seeking both energy and refinement.

 

Barbara is a contemporary abstract artist and intuitive colorist whose work explores the emotional resonance of color and movement. Her paintings are immersive fields of energy—layered, vibrant, and quietly powerful—inviting viewers into a dialogue between light, texture, and emotion.

​

With a foundation in fine art and industrial design, including an early career designing for General Motors, Barbara’s work balances discipline and intuition. Her process is deeply sensory—rooted in gesture, rhythm, and the shifting tones of the natural world. From the pattern of waves along the Salish Sea to the quiet hum of her studio garden, her environments find their way into each composition.

​

Living on Whidbey Island, surrounded by the ever-changing light of the Salish Sea, Barbara paints what she experiences: energy, stillness, resilience, and transformation. Her work now lives in private and corporate collections across the U.S. and Europe, yet each painting begins the same way—an act of translation between what is seen and what is felt.
