barbara campbell thomas
barbara campbell thomas's work combines painting with quilting, overlaying their material vocabularies to create complex formal dialogues that resonate with the details of her own life and the history of each medium. she came relatively late to quilting, which she learned from her mother, but quickly realized its power as an art form traditionally practiced by women to inform and expand the range of painting.
barbara’s paintings have been exhibited in museums and galleries across the united states: at the weatherspoon art museum, the virginia center for contemporary arts, the painting center, the atlanta center for contemporary art, the southeastern center for contemporary art and the north carolina museum of art. she is a recipient of a north carolina artists fellowship.
barbara campbell thomas attended skowhegan, the virginia center for the creative arts, the elizabeth murray artist residency and hambidge center for creative arts. she is a professor of art and the director of the school of art at the university of north carolina greensboro.
