Barbara Brody

Barbara is an American artist born in Chicago in 1941. The prints showcased on our website are from the Washington Green publisher era; the last releases of limited edition prints & Originals from that collection where circa late 1990s, early 2000s.

As of 2021 she lives in Los Angeles, still paints and she describes herself as a 'Painter and Collage Artist' and we still field many enquiries for any artworks available, which is a tribute to her enduring popularity!

Barbara Brody is a contemporary artist and colourist who has had a love affair with the sunlight, skies and landscapes, for as long as she can remember. Her language of images can be rich, playful, bold, magical and often evoke a spiritual quality - her work is always alive with a sense of spirit and wonder.

'Colours are like food for my soul, stored in my mind like others do with words, films, books and events.

All artists have different ways of working. I have always preferred to work on a number of items at once. I usually start by making many small miniature drawings or paintings; I then pick some and recreate them in larger form: building them up with paint, acrylic and embellishments and I continue to work on all the pieces concurrently, until the collection is complete.'

Barbara was born and raised in the Chicago, Illinois area and has lived in the lush landscape of southern Pennsylvania. Creativity runs through her family: the artist's children are writers, her sister is a graphic designer and sculptor & she has cousins and nieces all in the creative fields.

The artist is also referred to as also known as B.H. Brody, as her full name is Barbara Hammerman Brody.
