Barbara Kreutter began her creative career in textile design before transitioning to photography in 2014. Her background in weaving and color continues to inform her photographic work, which often evokes the texture and rhythm of fabric. After exploring glassblowing for several years, a friend’s comment about her travel photos inspired her to pursue photography more seriously. Influenced by mentors such as Freeman Patterson, André Gallant, Valda Bailey, and Doug Chinnery, Barbara developed a distinctive abstract style through techniques like multiple exposure. A juried member of the Alberta Society of Artists, Abstract’d Art Collective, and Rhythm of the Unseen, her work has been exhibited in Canada, the U.S., and the U.K.
