New York artist, Barbara Graff was raised in the Catskill Region, near
the famous town of Woodstock. After several years of a flourishing
career in New York City, she has returned to the Hudson Valley.

Masks and textures play a tremendous role in Barbara's work. In addition to Barbara drawing much of her inspiration from Nature, and having a great fascination with the human face, the variety of media used in her work is also largely attributed to her years of experience in the fashion industry. While keeping her primary focus on Fine Art, Barbara also made a successful career as a mannequin make-up artist for stores such as Bergdorf Goodman, Barney's New York, Bloomingdales and Saks Fifth Avenue, as well as several other major stores in the USA and abroad.
