“Yay! A New Scarf!” By Barbara Slater Oil on Canvas

About Our Cover ...

Barbara Slater is a painter who lives in Oregon and is inspired by the “out west” way of life and cowboy culture with a touch of city glitz. She is a gifted artist who is recognized in many communities throughout the Northwest, California and the Southwest. She is a native of Utah, and early in her career she was illustrating children’s books, and displaying her work in galleries. She is well known for her commission

work and enjoys working with clients who wish to have their pets come to life on a canvas. Her images portray warmth and are life-like, her landscapes dramatic, and her floral still-life portraits dynamic. She is a member of Oil Painters of America, California Art Club, and High Desert Art League in Bend, Oregon. Her work is currently featured in fine art galleries and juried shows. www.BarbaraSlater.com slaterart@gmail.com • (541) 480-2787 NEXT ISSUE: SPRING2025 ProductionBegins: Feb. 1 st QUARTERLYPUBLICATION Publishes March 1st - runs to June 1st Full Page•$795 ($265permonth) 1/2Page•$495 ($165permonth) 1/4Page•$295 ($99permonth)
