Larimore, Barbara - Originals

"In the fifth grade when my teacher put some irises in a glass and had us draw and color what we saw, I was hooked on art! But, the opportunity to study art seriously didn’t actually become possible until 1979. Along the way, I have been privileged to study with some of the finest master teachers, and consider the pursuit of art to be a “life’s journey.”
