Portrait Artist

My Photo
I paint and draw portraits on commission, from life, photographs and Skype visuals. One of the most exciting moments in my career was drawing Oprah Winfrey live via Skype during the taping of her show "Where in the Skype are you?" To commission a portrait, or purchase one of my paintings please contact me at: barbara.muir@sympatico.ca I'm exhibiting at The Amsterdam Whitney Gallery in New York City for the month of May, and at the DVAC show at Todmorden Mills, in Toronto. Galleries: Studio Vogue Gallery, Toronto, Canada. The Amsterdam Whitney Gallery, New York City. Gallery at the Porch Door, Kingston, Canada.

Pre show buzz

Hi people,

It's Saturday and the palest suggestion of sun slides along the newly
fallen snow. It's the last weekend of my Reading Week and then
back to school -- which I must admit I miss. Right now the four artists
who are taking part in our show at the Northern District Library are
all getting ready. I am painting as much as possible -- with a number
of things I like almost completed, and a few pieces ready to go from
a former show. Peter Adam is deciding which of his great oil paintings
to include. Christopher has a selection of amazing shots that he'll print
on his giant printer, and Josephine is printing her wonderful images
and framing them this weekend.

If you're in Toronto, I hope you come out. We will be so happy to see you.
The opening with wonderful coffee, home made pizza, cookies,
and other goodies is on

March 9 from 2 -- 4:30 p.m.

At the Northern District Library Skylight Gallery
upstairs at 40 Orchard View Boulevard
(one block north of Yonge and Eglinton)
Featuring paintings and photography
by Peter Adam, Barbara Muir,
Christopher Muir, and Josephine Pica

Have a memorable day.
