Contemporary Abstract Artist – www.barbaramosher.com & www.art-in-living.com
I recently spent a few legs of travel in airports. People watching has always been a favorite pastime for me. All of the differences, yet similarities to witness. People hurrying, people numb to the noise, the amount of luggage one tries to navigate onto the plane. Such entertainment. Then there is the weird and absurd. [...]
As I sit here in my cozy, blanket-wrapped nook, sipping on a steaming cup of pumpkin spice latte, I can't help but feel a sense of magic in the air. It's that time again, my friends, when Mother Nature dons her most breathtaking ensemble, painting the world in a symphony of vibrant hues. Yes, I'm [...]
As an abstract artist, and painter, I've always been known for my vibrant and energetic abstract paintings. My work has been a reflection of my creative spirit, bursting with colors and life, but as any artist can attest, there are times when we seek solace in the serenity of quieter subjects. In this blog post, [...]
I have missed having my studio open for visitors and participating and visiting art shows. This past year has been quite an adjustment and I sometimes feel like Punxsutawney Phil peeking my head above the ground wondering if it is safe to come out.

Last night we had a windstorm like none I had ever been through before. I have been told that winds were gusting to 65 mph where I live. Remarkably, our house came through it unscathed, considering we live next to a dense forest and have very tall trees in our yard. With everything that is [...]

It was an eventful 16 days...filled with rainy weather and traffic. My dear husband and Chevy (the studio assistant dachshund) took off from the Pacific Northwest two days before the Seattle Snowmageddon. It was a 1200 mile trek to Palm Springs and San Diego, in the name of Art (of course) and family. Winter is [...]
Being an artist is not only creating art, but marketing, packing, shipping, and tending to social media, among many other responsibilities. Today was photo shoot day. A wonderful photographer, Greg Roebuck, who has done some fantastic photos for Snowboarding Magazine, spent the better part of an afternoon with me and my paintings. I haven't seen [...]
I often struggle with the expectations that an artist have a body of work that is recognizably their "signature" style. Part of what I love about being an artist is the creativity to be unique and let myself explore and be free. The art world does not always favor this course of creativity...at least in [...]
When I paint or create a sculpture, I am not sure I would be able to stay focused if I had a human studio assistant. 🙂 Chevy, my dachshund, is great support and I'll call her the best studio assistant! (Chevy is probably curious why I dance, with my paint brush in hand while wearing [...]
