BARBARA LIDFORS is a landscape and figurative artist who paints the allure of everyday moments. In her figurative works she seeks to imbue ordinary situations with universal meaning. Her nature paintings often reference the metaphoric possibilities inherent in the natural world.

In 2020 she returned to her hometown Minnesota roots , after living and painting in Germany for many decades. She is now delightfully rediscovering the unique beauty of Minnesota’s people and natural wooded areas. In 2001 she earned an MFA from Vermont College of Norwich University and has exhibited her work internationally in over 100 solo and group shows. She presently teaches painting at the Minnetonka Center for the Arts. In the fall of 2025 she will present a large collection of painted WINDOW WATCHERS in an exhibition at MSP airport’s Terminal 2.
