About Barbara

Aside from spending time with her family and friends, Barbara Drayer’s greatest joy was painting.  Barbara took three art classes each week during her retirement.  Painting watercolor - specifically the pictures her eyes could capture - was her most pleasurable hobby.  Barbara also loved teaching her granddaughters Brooke, Elle, Brianna and Julia what she learned in her classes, so they could create similar artwork.
