joyful, and enchanting world.
Like a journey, each viewer is invited to narrate their own story through the colors and shapes on the canvas. Throughout her works, one can discover ‘Barb Happy,’ a small ‘guardian of happiness’ character that appears in all her pieces. Other visual elements like strawberries, eyes, bees, along with positive phrases, create a dynamic and liberating ensemble.
