She (Barry Huffman) is an American original, following her own path, finding a way to express love and beauty as best she can, not quite like anyone else.
Janet Koplos, Life Illustrated
Six decades ago a young newly married woman began painting pictures of her everyday life. What started out as an endeavor to please herself with a memory became an obsession of documenting her thoughts, experiences, joys and sorrows, and loss and frustrations of life. As a private quiet person this became her practice of dealing with life.
More than 1300 paintings later Barry Gurley Huffman who began as a self-taught artist had become an artist in her own right that defies categories of a persona or style and worthy of recognition of her contribution and talent as a visual artist. She has created a unique and amazing documentation of a fading but not forgotten era.
