As a child, she would use pen and ink, copying drawings from her grandmother’s dictionary. She attended Omaha’s Central High School because of its close locale to Joslyn Art Museum. This artist’s grandmother had a 1947 Webster dictionary. When disagreements occurred, withing the family concerning a word’s spelling, Gram’s dictionary solved the problem! As a child, her mother allowed her to copy the delicate line drawings found in the dictionary. Barbara was given some ink and a brush. This is how her love of painting with watercolor began! Although Barbara eventually became an elementary school teacher, she never stopped painting! As a multi-media artist, her greatest influences came from her grandmother, who first recognized her artistic ability, her sweet, funny, mother who supported her efforts, and her kind, gentle father’s strong Christian values which shaped the character of her family unit. Today, Barbara enjoys living in Bellevue with her husband, Emmett, and Joe Cocker, the family pooch. She displays her art at The Passageway Gallery located in Omaha’s Old Market, Nebraska City’s Self Expressions Gallery as well as the Grain Bin Antique Town in North Platte, Nebraska. She serves as Omaha Artist’s Inc. Art Club’s president. Often, Schmid-Egr participates in art shows around town. She is the recipient of several awards and enjoyed attending plein air workshops with Karen Ramsey and Tim Horn. https://www.barbaraegrart.com/home daily 1.0 2021-04-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6074a9b8b171e20dacc569d1/69140009-042f-4496-8ee9-5296da10958b/2432.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6074a9b8b171e20dacc569d1/1da99ea0-60ca-4b41-a67c-ad91e545ed7f/Strong.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6074a9b8b171e20dacc569d1/61f8450b-2b23-4e82-8199-7003eaae742c/Meradith.jpg.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6074a9b8b171e20dacc569d1/c73aa167-7e82-4841-9a81-bdb2e166e79b/oil_Montana+Sunflowers_June2018_24x24_hires.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6074a9b8b171e20dacc569d1/09920ef1-9f48-4c2a-854b-dd76c71f3dad/1008.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6074a9b8b171e20dacc569d1/9a8cac1c-8d57-4a62-afec-c075d793dc46/Impressionism_10.18_hires.jpg Home https://www.barbaraegrart.com/contact daily 0.75 2026-01-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6074a9b8b171e20dacc569d1/1618858801407-OP3CPDPTPTQLCYR95MVW/wc_Awe_Dec.2017_10x20_hires.jpg Contact - Contact, Commissions, or Speaking Opportunities To order art, request a commission, or inquire about speaking engagements, please email me directly at bschmidski@cox.net.
