Barbara Jablonski
Plein Air Painter

Nature is Barbara’s Palette
Barbara Jablonski loves painting plein air, that is, on site, “in open air.” Anywhere she travels she will paint -- the seashore, the mountains, our national parks and Europe. Barbara captures color and light while painting contemporary life in her landscapes. She loves painting architecture, backlit scenes, waterscapes and boats

Barbara initially studied painting using acrylics. After an art sabbatical, she resumed studio painting in 1996, studying portraiture and life painting in oil, pastel and water media. Her acclaimed instructors include artists Steve Carpenter and Robert Liberace.  Plein air painting instructors include Kenn Backhaus, Mark Boedges, John Budicin, David Lussier, Thomas J. Kegler, Margaret M. Martin AWS, and Albert Handell.

Barbara is the President, Founder and Signature Artist of Genesee Valley Plein Air Painters, Inc. She is also a Signature Artist and member of the Artist Faculty of the Rochester Art Club, Inc. Additionally Barbara is an Associate Member of American Impressionist Society. She competes in local, state-wide and national judged and juried competitions.

She is represented by local art galleries including the Uof R Memorial Art Gallery Store, Sylvan Starlight Creations Artisan Gallery, and the Pat Rini Rohrer Gallery in Canandaigua, NY. She also displays in the Clothesline Art Festival.

Barbara presents plein air painting workshops in oil and acrylics and demonstrations throughout New York State.
