Barr's work is bold, colorful and intriguing. Her mission is simple. She loves what she does and hopes her passion is contagious. (Most images will enlarge by clicking on them.)

As a mixed media artist Barr is unconfined to any particular technique or medium. Each time she employs a new medium she plays with it; exploring and probing its qualities and limitations. Once familiar with the new medium she then takes it to a new height by combining it with other media. The possibilities are never ending, that is her excitement. Always though, there is color and strength.

Starting from a traditional background where she employed such media as Oil & Acrylic, Pen & Ink and both Graphite and Colored Pencil, Barr has moved on into more experimental media and media combinations.

For her custom rubber stamp art work Barr carves images and designs into a pliable rubber mat using linoleum carvers and, after applying acrylic paints, transfers the images to the support. Often she carries the design out from the central image and onto one or more of the mats framing it.

Barr's reliefs are most often created using Polyfilla®, a joint compound found in Canada. These relief images can arise through various techniques. Sometimes she will draw the design into the wet compound with her fingers, other times the image is created on the support first. Texture is often added by applying found objects or fabrics to the wet surface or by applying tissues and fabrics in the painting process. Once the Polyfilla® has dried the relief is often carved, usually sanded down, and then painted or collaged.

Among Barr's collages you will find the use of imported and handmade papers, common tissues, found netting, and various types of fabrics and strings. Paint, rubber stamp art and her reliefs are also often combined with these works..
