Meet this Month’s Artist
December 2025
Barbara Edlund Healy
Barbara Edlund Healy’s paintings reflect the quiet beauty of the New England coast. Oil and acrylic paintings are inspired by the diverse colors of light, atmosphere and nature. She uses color to enliven peaceful landscapes, seascapes, and gardens. Her paintings try to be more than a snapshot, giving a feel of the breeze on a summer sail or a memory of an evening walk. Brushstrokes over glimpses of color intentionally reveal some of the painting process. After growing up in South Windsor, Connecticut, Barbara attended UMASS Dartmouth. Her degree in textile design has given her a background in color, but she often paints plein air to learn from nature. Her paintings are in many collections, including Tobey Hospital. She is a juried artist member of the Cape Cod Art Center and the National Association of Women Artists. Her studio in Dartmouth, MA is on the South Coast Artists Open Studio Tour.
