Her exquisite hand-painted fabrics became world famous and highly sought-after. Memorably, her work was featured at the Brooklyn Museum along with Richard Avedon and Elaine de Kooning. She both studied and taught textile design throughout her career, and was an early proponent of using environmentally friendly all-natural fibers and non-toxic agents at her small factory in San Francisco.
Barbra received her BFA at the University of Illinois, studied and the Chicago Art Institute, the Pratt Institute, UC Berkeley. She also taught at the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising, and UC Berkeley extension. She was an active member of ASID, HIA, NEWH, DFA, and the Foundation for Design Integrity. In 2008 she received the IFDA Trailblazer Award for Achievement in the Interior Design Industry.
Barbara was widely admired for her great smile, boundless energy, warmth and generosity to her friends, colleagues and competitors. Barbara continued to design and produce new design concepts up until her death in August 2018.
