Barb Temple
Available at the Alberta Craft Gallery - Edmonton
From a young age, Barb Temple was happiest with a pencil and paper in hand. She currently draws her inspiration from the beauty of the prairies and the skies that surround us.
In the mid 90s she attended a jewellery class at the Alberta University of Arts, safe to say, she was hooked! Through multiple career paths, including being a commercial medivac pilot and wildfire dispatch, she again put her art to the side while starting a family.
In 2016 Barb had time to reconnect with her love for metalsmithing and has since attended many more classes and been given opportunities to showcase her art across Western Canada.
