About the Artist

 

Barbara J. Lloyd

 Artist Statement

“Art is my facilitator, ferrying me across the divide, into my subconscious. It’s there that I find the raw material that will tell a new story, one infused with mystery, whimsy, organic movement or the stillness of a frozen lake at dusk. A successful work of art is one that engages the viewer in a satisfying dialogue. Everything I paint, collage or photograph is designed to start and, hopefully continue, this great conversation.”

 

After graduating from Kean University of NJ with a Fine Arts degree, BJ Lloyd taught art for awhile, created the art for many album/CD covers, and opened her own public relations company. Now a full-time working artist, she creates in Mixed Media, Collage, Digital Art, Digital Photography, Acrylics, Assemblages and whatever else strikes her fancy. BJ Lloyd is a member of the Housatonic Valley Cultural Alliance. Her work is available to art collectors, galleries, interior designers, home stagers, art publishers, and for corporate & hospitality needs.
