Artist Biography
Over the course of my career I have worked as a graphic designer, art director, animator, multi-media developer, instructional designer, visual artist and painting instructor. My fascination with exploring possibilities has led to a diverse painting practice. The thread that runs through my work is my observation of human interaction with wilderness. On a formal level, my work examines the sensory and emotional experience I personally have while walking the trails where I live in the Bow Valley and the places I visit. Wilderness can be a place of self-discovery and the approach I have to my work mirrors those acts of discovery offered up by the natural world.Barb Fyvie
Barb Fyvie was born in Calgary, Alberta. After completing a BFA at the University of Alberta in 1984 she worked in design and education alongside her painting studio practice. In 2015, she was awarded a Public Art Commission by The Town of Canmore. She is represented by Elevation Gallery in Canmore and her work can be found in collections across Canada, and in the U.S. and Europe. Barb also mentors emerging artists, teaches painting and her JoyMakers expressive arts program in the Bow Valley.
