Barbara LT
Barbara LT is a resident artist at Kew Art Studio in Richmond, UK. She paints predominantly circus artists. After numerous canvases of landscapes and countless still life drawings her world changed when she walked into the Black Cat Cabaret on London’s Southbank. Instantly mesmerised by the cyr wheel act she wanted to capture the performers’ magic on canvas and paper. She now spends most of her days focusing on painting movement, the character, “the feel” of her favourite circus artists from around the world. Finding beauty in all circus disciplines her focus is movement in the air, catching that moment that separates flying from falling. She continues to find inspiration in new circus artists as well as her long term muses, loves having them around for a chat in the studio and is avidly learning the circus vocabulary. She runs away with the circus as often as she can.
