Barbara Milman Art Talk

Barbara Milman is a print and book artist from the San Francisco Bay Area who recently gave a talk about her work at the Morris Graves Museum in Eureka, CA. A number of NORBAG members attended the presentation to hear about her work and see her prints and the artist books she made to house some of the prints. Previously Barbara created a large body of work about the Holocaust, but her most recent interest is climate change. She is concerned about the environment and uses her art to help make people aware of climate change, particularly in the oceans. Barbara has exhibited her work nationally and internationally and has won many awards. Her exhibit at the Morris Graves Museum runs through August 30th.
