Intimate East Erie Gallery established in 2022, specializes in legacy art from local and regional, contemporary artists, in a variety of mediums (oils, acrylics, pastels, watercolor, graphite, clay, mixed media) and styles (abstract and representational paintings, drawings, collage and ceramics).

Our desire is to connect patrons and art lovers with original work, to add too or start their own collection, within an in-person experience.
We are located in the Streeterville neighborhood, steps away from Michigan Ave., and housed in the newly land-marked, Erie Street Row Building, built in 1877.

Her body of work includes: figures, still life, cityscape, painting, drawing and mixed media in both representational and abstract executions. If you love art, you will love Barbara. Her move into abstraction occurred later in life, as a rare health condition affected her vision.
Come witness the talent & dedication to a practice spanning so long and so varied and always given With Love, Barbara. A portion of sales will be given to The Chicago Lighthouse for the Blind.
