The wordy version.....

Barbara Bechtel is a professional mixed media artist who trained at the Savannah College of Art & Design. She works in painting, collage, assemblage, printmaking, textiles, paper arts & jewelry design. Her work uses visual narratives through combinations of words and symbols, exploring the meanings humans attach to these elements and how survival hinges on mastering our reactions to the human experience. Barbara is the owner of Soul Collective Studio, her maker studio and incubation lab, where she is heavily involved in each of the processes from start to finish.  Her current projects include  securing a future home for Soul Collective Studio and creative collaboration with like minded business to rise by lifting others.
