Missing Persons

A series of new work by artist Barbara Seipp, based on portraits from lost/discarded photos. The series explores the human experience, memories, and the impermanence of both; also the enduring truth of the life that was lived. Who were/are these people? That is the question posed.

Barbara Seipp is a contemporary realist painter mainly using oils and watercolors. Her work aims to capture human experience and expression in both its subtle and unsubtle forms.  Her work has been featured in several small shows over the years including Cascade Sotheby’s  First Friday art walk in Bend. She is a veteran of the Portland fashion world having had her own line of apparel and store, Isaac Hers, for 7 years. In all of her creative works, pattern, color theory, and contemporary design remain strong influences.  

Barbara has degrees in Industrial Engineering from Rensselear Polytechnic Institute and a J.D. From Lewis and Clark Law School.

Currently, Barbara is a resident of Bend, Oregon working full-time from her home studio.
