ABOUT BARBARA DANSER:

Barbara Danser is both sculptor and painter, focusing on the joyful energy of life and nature and on the continuum of time. Beginnings and endings, rejuvenation, connections between Earth and the universe, mystery of spirit – these are the inspirations infused into her work.

Within the past year Barbara has been juried into shows at the Robert Lincoln Levy Gallery in Portsmouth and at the Sharon Arts Gallery in Peterborough, and she has participated in the Monadnock Arts Auction and Keene Art Walk. She serves on the Friends of the Thorne-Sagendorph Gallery Executive Committee and volunteers on committees at the Sharon Arts Center. She is a juried member in eight Connecticut art organizations, where she has received many awards, and Barbara’s work is represented in galleries in CT and NM.

Barbara Danser has conducted plein air painting workshops in the American Southwest and in Italy since 1996. Barbara’s studios are in the Harrisville Mills and in Jaffrey Center.
