Barbara Ariss-Stroh-Wasser

Painter (oil, mixed)

Artist Statement

My painting ," Recycling Memories: Looking Back, Looking Forward", reminds me to still carry a mask in my pocket, to be grateful, appreciate life , and to live responsibly. Also, realizing that the upheaval caused by COVID five years ago was the necessary push for progress in the field of medicine, to allow all of us to embrace life again.

Dealing with a tiny upheaval in my life by not being able to remove coffee stains from my new silk T- shirt, I recycled it, and gave it a new life and purpose as a piece of art on a gallery framed canvas.

Artist Bio

Barbara Ariss-Stroh-Wasser was born in Eastern Europe, educated in Western Europe, and came through marriage to Canada where she raised two successful sons with her husband.

She applied her creativity as an educator in the Ontario Public School System, in private language schools, as a tutor, and as an architectural designer of residences and landscapes for her husband's business.

As a conceptual visual artist, she tries to expand the onlooker's mind away from their daily experiences, outward to events in global history and discoveries in all sciences including space and technology - reminding us that we can actively embrace our present and future.
