About
Barbara Vogel lives in Grandview Heights and creates at Spring Street Studios in Columbus, Ohio. She is a member of the Ohio Art League and board member of the Ohio Craft Museum. Her artwork is based on alternative photographic processes.
“Vogel’s strong suit is that she is able to swim in an intuitive sea, free to make associations and seemingly random connections that, once she surfaces, become recognizable as a collective reality. Vogel consistently grapples with an impressive and intuitively complex multiplicity of ideas.
