​BIO

​Barbara Kopeschny, originally from Ontario, is a self-taught realist artist, now residing in Victoria, British Columbia. 
​

Inspired by rocky landscapes, granite cliffs and water views, her  paintings often incorporate delicate birdlife and nature.

 

In addition to outdoor excursions, museum visits, gallery representation and art exhibitions, her work has benefitted from direct study with artists such as Jan Martin McGuire, Richard McDiarmid and Robert Bateman. 

​

Barbara's preferred medium is Acrylics.  Her paintings emerge from the refinement of on-site sketches, thumbnail sketches and photo references. The purity of elements included in her compositions and her attention to detail, supports not only that quality of peacefulness, but also transports the viewer back to nature, to experience and protect the natural world.
