Biography & Artist's Statements

Barbara Churchley's paintings reflect her personal connection with the western landscape she lives in. Her paintings in pastel and oil are interpretive and impressionistic. Her passion for the outdoors has taken her to the summit of all 53 ranked 14,000' peaks in Colorado and a few other unranked ones for fun. She has explored the landscape "up close and personal" through multiple marathons, hikes, and backpack trips. Churchley finds inspiration painting en plein air in western Colorado where she lives to the far corners of the world where she frequently travels pursuing her other passion of birdwatching.
