March 2007 Artist of the Month

Each month LARAC highlights the work of an Artist from the Adirondack Region.

 
Barbara Garro, MA
Saratoga Springs, NY

See samples of her work
at LARAC through March 2007

Hours:  Monday-Saturday, 10 am-3 pm
 

Barbara Garro, states, "I am stepping out with my own signature style of painting, Abstract Synchronism".

Barbara Garro's artistic journey, spanning 45 years of non-stop experimenting, resulted in her new direction and art style:  Abstract Synchronism, characterized by curvilinear and diagonal movement.  For provenance, nine paintings in Abstract Synchronism will bear the names of the artist's parents--Homiak and Garro.  In sync with the artist's vision, sparkling colors burst forth or variations of one color, like "Life" (visit www.BarbaraGarro.com).  In this show, you see the first Abstract Synchronism painting and the most recent.

On display at LARAC through March, visitors will see "Dark Eyes", the first Abstract Synchronism painting, and "Leaps and Boundaries", the most recent Abstract Synchronism painting.

Garro paints on wood, clay board, canvas board, glass and paper with oil, casein, watercolor, and acrylic mediums.  The Garro artistic journey began 45 years ago as one of the mentored students of Philadelphia master painter and sculptor, Morris Blackburn (1902-1979).  In his plein-air multimedia landscape classes at the Philadelphia Art Museum, students painted along Philadelphia's Schuylkill River.  Within the last five years, Barbara has had several one-woman shows.  Since 1978, Garro's biography appeared in five Marquis "Who's Who" publications.  Currently Garro is being considered for "Who's Who in the World".

Garro's work can be seen at the Ginofor Gallery, Cambridge; Gallery 100, Saratoga Springs; Blue Mountain Organics, Granville; Recycling Red Dresses, Saratoga Springs; and Moseskill Marketplace, Argyle.
