Barbara Day

I am drawn to flowers and plants and love to look at them close up. The design of each one is really amazing and no two flowers are the same. In my previous work as a designer, I was often drawn to nature for inspiration in my graphic design work. Now, as a painter I continue to be fascinated by nature and primarily paint floral works
