Barrington Public Library is pleased to welcome Ramona Silk to the Main Floor Gallery and Barbara Meier to the Jennifer English Gallery.
Ramona Silk
Main Floor Gallery
Artist Ramona Silk explores the beauty and wonder of the natural world through her oil paintings. Colorful landscapes, untamed wildlife, and fleeting moments of light and atmosphere inspire her work, allowing her to capture what often cannot be fully expressed in words.
Drawn to the emotional essence of a place, Silk finds inspiration in the way light moves across water, the stillness of a misty landscape, the warmth of a sunset, and the soulful gaze of an animal. Through expressive color, atmospheric light, and evocative moods, she brings these moments to life on canvas, creating paintings that reflect the spirit and character of each subject.
Primarily self-taught, Silk is based in Barrington, Rhode Island, and has been painting for more than twelve years. Through her work, she hopes to offer viewers a moment of beauty, connection, or quiet reflection, inviting each person to discover a personal meaning within her paintings.
Barbara Meier
Jennifer English Gallery
Barbara Meier is a Rhode Island oil painter who is drawn to places where light transforms the familiar into something memorable. Through her paintings, she seeks to evoke not only the appearance of a landscape but the feeling of experiencing it.
Barb has been creating art her whole life and began painting in oils in 2009. Mostly self-taught, she enjoys experimenting with technique and expanding on ways to abstract and interpret what she sees. A workshop instructor once described her as a “painter’s painter”—someone who truly enjoys paint as an expressive, tactile, and vibrant medium full of possibilities.
