Artist Bio

Barbara Koepsell

“My subjects are varied but most people associate me with florals as that is really what motivates me the most. My florals are usually vibrant and colorful. I like to think that each flower is a delicate treasure showing just enough detail to bring out its subtle nuance of its natural fluid lines and form.” - Barbara Koepsell

Barbara Koepsell’s childhood home near Washington, D.C. exposed the young artist to numerous art galleries and cultural events within the area. After her children were grown Barbara resumed her artwork by studying oil painting with Lydia Quick at the Gallery of Windermere. Barbara became versed in working with acrylics, oil and pencil but she discovered that she prefers creating watercolors most of all.

Her works have been shown in many outdoor art shows throughout Central Florida, as well as in Orlando City Hall, the Art Center of St. Petersburg, FL, the University Club of Winter Park, the Orlando International Airport, among other locations. Her paintings are included in the private collections of patrons located throughout the United States, England and Germany.

Barbara is presently a member of the Central Florida Watercolor Society; The Central Florida Art Association (President 2006 - 2007 and now Secretary); the National League of American Pen Women, and the Florida Watercolor Society.
