Barbara Owen (AP '20) presents "Simile and Metaphor: Red Necklace" at Wheaton College. She will give an artist talk followed by a reception on September 6.

Barbara Owen’s work is influenced by her interest in the formal aspects of the “line” in addition to her ongoing interest in color. She views her work as painting and sculpture equally, which allows her to explore the many qualities inherent in each medium. Her abstract paintings, drawings and 3-dimensional works are inspired by the transformation of materials through process and idea. At the root of this work, she explores the formal life of color, shape and form at its most essential spirit through encounters with paper, textiles, photographs and the everyday.
