BARBARA LIBBY-STEINMANN is a painter and art educator. Barbara spends her days teaching K-4th grade art at Bacich Elementary School in Kentfield. She was honored as the Marin County Teacher of the Year and California Teacher of the Year Finalist for the 2017/18 school year. Raised on a dairy farm in Switzerland, the foundation was built for Barbara’s deep connection with nature and the land. Today, she captures nature’s beauty on her canvas - trusting her instincts, staying fresh, and simplifying essential shapes and lines, moving towards the abstract yet never completely losing touch with the essential details. Barbara also loves to draw and paint cats and birds, and continues to challenge herself with innovative concepts, compositions showing interesting line-work and textures. Her fanciful illustrations of creatures are loved by children and adults alike. For more information on Barbara: www.barbaralibby.com/index.html
