The Work of Barbara Brandel
Barbara’s work reflects a life-long
interest in fiber arts and indigenous
textiles. Her paintings pay homage
to artisans from around the world
and her painted collages, containing
recycled world stamps and maps, speak
of the similarities and uniqueness
of us all, (with sometimes humorous
juxtapositions.)

Have you ever forgotten what you are doing or why you are doing it?
Do you experience physical discomfort and then worry about it?
Do you get lonely?
Research studies have shown that when older adults practice mindfulness
on a regular basis, they experience improvements in memory, have an easier
time dealing with pain, and diminish loneliness, anxiety and depression.
Cultivating a mindfulness practice can significantly boost your quality of life.

your own patterns.
