Barbara Gibson-Dutton , Rideau Heights Studio

Working from the loft studio in her home just 2 km east of Merrickville, Ontario, ‘born-again’ watercolour artist Barbara Gibson-Dutton continues to express her love of flowers.

Barbara is also part of the revival of the ancient art of hand painting porcelain using techniques developed over 1,500 years ago – an art in which several layers of mineral paints are applied to white porcelain, which is subsequently kiln fired to 1,500F between each application of paint in order to permanently bond the colours to the porcelain’s glaze.
Her art, both in porcelain and water colour, is unique and original.
