Barbara McBurnie

Artist, Barbara McBurnie of Mona Vale, Sydney, brings her own style of excitement and vitality to her art.

Her love of the Australian outdoors is reflected in the subjects she paints – beaches, landscapes, native plants, birds, boating, abstracts and more recently oil paintings.

Barbara began her artistic career as a potter, completing ceramic courses at Brookvale TAFE. The excitement of under glaze colours painted on clay was the motivation to study watercolour painting.

Today, Barbara paints in oils, acrylic and water colour using the medium which best suits and reflects the mood of her painting.

Barbara gives thanks to her teachers Val Kemsley, Paul Warner, Frederick Bates, Molly Flaxman, Alvaro Castagnet, Helen Goldsmith, David Taylor, Ross Paterson, Rex Newell, Ev Hales and Joseph Zbukvic.

Barbara is a member of the following art societies. – North Shore, Mosman, Artists & Craftsmen of Pittwater, Pittwater Community Arts and Great Lakes, Forster.
