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.)

looking to make a splash by adding
low-impact, high-energy aquatic
exercise to their fitness routine. There

more challenging and helps tone your
muscles. Join Colin out at the pool for
this one-hour class. Drop ins welcome.
