About the Item

Barbara Hocker sees her life’s vocation as being an ambassador for the natural world through her art. Nature is facing many challenges right now. Hocker wants to remind viewers of the healing and support that Nature brings us and inspire them to return that care and support. She believes elemental, natural images bring the healthful benefits of the outside inside to our personal and public spaces. Her work brings a dynamic stillness and meditative presence to each space it inhabits. Hocker often works in series where several pieces can be hung together in a space. She also enjoys working with collectors and institutions, when they have specific needs, on a commission basis. Barbara Hocker begins by capturing images with various digital cameras and lenses. Shooting skies, waterfalls, streams, rivers, lakes, and the sea, Hocker always look for a flow state of mind to match the flowing water. Sometimes the artist writes a haiku inspired by the scene intending to find the feeling of the moment and place. If a piece has an accompanying haiku, it is written on the back of the piece. Hocker prints the photographs, pulls abstract monotypes, and paints watercolors on thin sheets of rice paper, infusing them with encaustic wax. Papers are cut into strips and woven together then mounted onto panels. The wax makes the paper translucent and blends the images together, creating a sense of depth and movement which is enhanced by the physical layering developed by the weaving process. Bringing the element of water into our homes and public spaces creates a serenity that grounds us and energizes us. Barbara Hocker was born in South Norwalk, CT. Her earliest years were spent between the beach and a saltwater marsh where life was organized by the tides. Water was elemental to everything, from the unique smell of the marsh at low tide to the floods that came whenever the winds picked up from the Northeast. Always interested in nature, it is probably no wonder that water has been her primary subject matter for more than 15 years. Ever since an epiphany in a traumatic summer of 1999, Barbara has focused on tranquility, ephemerality, and meditation in her artwork. She brings her practice of Zen Yoga and Tai Chi into her photography and painting. Barbara collages digital photographs together and with abstract prints/paintings by weaving the paper and infusing it with encaustic wax, creating works on panel, handmade books, and installations. She also sometimes writes haiku to accompany the artwork. Barbara has exhibited her work extensively, including solo shows in Hartford, New Haven, Newport, and Boston. Her work is in corporate and private collections, including the permanent collection of The Memorial Sloan Kettering Hospital system in Manhattan, Westchester, and New Jersey. Awards include Fellowships/Grants from the Connecticut Office of the Arts, the Greater Hartford Arts Council, the Edward C. and Ann T. Roberts Foundation, and Artist Resource Trust of the Berkshire Taconic Foundation. She holds a degree in Fibers from Syracuse University’s College of Visual & Performing Arts and attended Cranbrook Academy of Arts. Barbara lives in Bolton, CT and her studio is in Hartford, CT.
