Barbara Jaenicke received a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1986 from The College of New Jersey, majoring in Art with an emphasis in Advertising and Design, while also studying fine art outside of her college studies. Her early career was spent in advertising as an art director, then later in a corporate marketing communications role. In 2002, she was able to turn her focus to a career in fine art, pursuing it full steam ahead.

Barbara works pastel and oil, and strives to capture light-filled landscapes in an impressionist style. She’s earned the distinctions of Master Pastelist in the Pastel Society of America and Eminent Pastelist in the International Association of Pastel Societies, and holds Signature Memberships in the American Impressionist Society and Oil Painters of America.
