About this artwork

“Gliding Thru” is a shaped-canvas oil painting created for a specific location in the home, an arched alcove. The collectors had a specific color palette based upon their favorite colors and provided color swatches of these colors along. Since their color palette was not necessarily hers at the time, the challenge for her was to adapt to theirs and make not only the colors work, but also to maintain her oeuvre. The process involved creating a… paper template of the alcove to insure that the canvas would be custom made to fit the curve at the top of the alcove. The title emanated from conversations with the collectors and the personal challenges she was experiencing at the time - the loss of over 80% of all of her belongings due to rainstorm water damage. She felt like she was ‘gliding through’ life while trying to make sense of all that was happening around her.

After installation, the collectors requested what they referred to as as a “companion piece, Morning, Noon and Night".

« Obstacles are opportunities to strengthen my resolve to manage impermanence and the ever-changing aspects of life, setting free the spirit trapped within to create my art. »
Barbara Gothard, is a contemporary visual artist, who, though originally from Illinois, has truly made the Palm Springs/Mojave Desert area her home. As a woman artist working in a landscape often associated with vast extremes, she's become a living embodiment of the contradictions she explores in her work. Her art interprets the complexities of human experience, focusing particularly on the subconscious. Living amidst the desert's awe-inspiring colors, light, and endless skies, Gothard's surroundings deeply influence her creative process, grounding her work in the light and majesty of this unique environment. Her path to artistry has been shaped by a blend of traditional art training and a rich background in global business, giving her a multi-layered perspective that infuses her artworks with depth and resonance. Her artworks are widely exhibited, commissioned and collected nationally and internationally and she is an art magazine writer/contributor.
