Barb Lanier
I’m an abstract artist working in clay, paint, and found materials. For 22 years I was a massage therapist, learning the quiet language of touch and presence. That sensitivity still guides me. I build my work in layers—scraping, marking, softening—letting texture and time shape the surface. I’m drawn to pieces that feel a little weathered, a little imperfect, and full of subtle mystery. Whether I’m sculpting or painting, I make work that is meant to live in real spaces—on a table, on a wall, in the rhythm of everyday life—offering something grounded, compelling, dynamic, and quietly powerful.
