Artist Statement

Barbara Churchley’s paintings reflect her personal connection with the western landscape she lives in.  Her paintings in pastel and oil are interpretive and expressive.  Her passion for the outdoors has taken her to the summit of  all 53 ranked 14,000’ peaks in Colorado.  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.
