Born in Toronto, Barbara Sutherland graduated from the Ontario College of Art and Design in 1984 after a final year of study in Florence, Italy.
She is a member of both the Ontario Society of Artists and the Canadian Society of Painters in Watercolour.

 Barbara’s travels by boat and RV across Canada provide abundant material for her work. Summers are spent cruising Lake Huron’s North Channel where Barbara paints in oils and watercolours in secluded anchorages, along wooded trails and windswept shores. A rugged, remote landscape appeals to her. With abundant enthusiasm for life’s adventures, Barbara delights in the solitary hike to find new inspiration in nature.

A bold manner expresses her delight for new places, coastal landscapes, changing seasons and her love of colour, both seen and felt.

While Barbara considers landscape and the energetic abstraction of it to be the thrust of her work, she is fond of portraiture and turns her hand successfully to it as well. In the 2010 CSPWC international juried competition, a portrait of the artist’s father won the Curry’s – M. Graham & Co. Award for watercolour.

 Collectors of Barbara’s paintings comment on the excellent use of colour and line to create good, rhythmic compositions.  In the words of the late Doris McCarthy, “Barbara’s works show a delightful sense of design. She uses colour with freedom and courage which makes her paintings good to live with.”
