"Delaware Water Gap" a painting on slate, in in the Newark Museum collection.Bristol Myers Squibb commissioned a slate mural and the New Jersey State Council of the Arts presented her with a Fellowship Award for Artistic Excellence. Barbara's recent abstract paintings are a departure from the landscape and flower paintings that comprised her past body of work. Using watercolor on antique paper the controlled accidents with the flow of the translucent paint covered much of the paper, while at the same time she introduced the imagery of the Russian Constructivists in the form of circles, lines thick and thin, straight and irregular. Surprising shapes of gold and silver leaf were introduced as a touch of the oppulance of the Tzars. These small magical pictures are a fresh, new exploration of Kulicke. A body of work from the creative spirit of a born again abstract painter.
