Barbara Jean Lloyd

"For me, art is all about telling stories, setting a mood, starting conversations. It’s like a window that opens onto my subconscious, where I collect the bits and pieces I find there and allow them to tell a tale. My art creates a distinct atmosphere—of mystery, whimsy, organic movement or unnatural stillness. Certain pieces may be light-hearted, others unnerving. But, as long as my art engages the viewer in a satisfying dialogue, I consider it a success."

After graduating from Kean University of NJ with a Fine Arts degree, B.J. Lloyd taught art Dunellen NJ Middle School, created the art for many album/CD covers, and opened her own public relations company. Now a full-time working artist, she creates in Acrylics, Mixed Media, Collage, Digital Fine Art/ Photography, Assemblages, and whatever else strikes her fancy.
