Barbara Rafferty, artist and painter

Spiderwoman is born!


I am a cat with nine lives and hopefully I haven't used them all up yet! I have nine adult children and am Grammie to twice as many grandchildren. Frank, my husband of fifty years, passed away a few years ago and since then I have been busy re-inventing myself and getting back in touch with the part of myself that has always been extremely creative.

Thanks to my many new and old friends, I have wonderful opportunities to grow as a person and creative spirit. I am painting every day, even when it is only in my head! The experience of painting in Italy, Florida, New Mexico, as well as at my seaside hometown on the North Shore of Massachusetts, has provided wonderful, exciting landscapes and mixed media art.

Lately I have felt the urge to follow my creative call and develop a personal voice that will facilitate others to feel their lives renewed, positive purpose and meaning. I accept the challenge! Every day I keep my eyes wide open and my paintbrush and pencil ready.
