Barbara Schaff - The Coast
Artist Hometown: Plainfield
Medium: Acrylic on Paper
Location in MD Anderson: Third Floor, Division of Hematology Medical Oncology, Inside Conference Room C3211
Artist Bio:
After enjoying a prolific career as a ceramicist, Barbara Schaff turned her artistic talent to painting.
The evolution from painting with glaze on porcelain tile to painting on canvas was a natural progression for Barbara.
Barbara uses color to show light and illuminate the smallest details in her abstract paintings. When she begins composing, she trusts her instincts and keeps her mind open to the possibility of what the work will be.
Barbara was born in Plainfeld and raised her children in New Jersey. She studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, the China National Academy of Fine Art and received a New Jersey State Council on the Arts Fellowship.
“Art helps alleviate suffering. It has the power to take people out of themselves and transport them to a different space.”
