I am involved in the Nicola Valley Community Arts Council in Merritt, and we are collecting info about Barbara Rode and her life & art. I'm interested to know who owns this piece - Barbara painted many self-portraits during the time she lived in Merritt, BC, the last few years of her life. If anyone knows anything about her, please contact me: market@uniserve.com Thanks.

Hi Kim

I met Barbara Rode's daughter Irene Orbeliani at Kootenay School of Art, in the early 70's and remained friends with her until she passed. She gave me a self-portrait of her mother as well as Barbara's husband. The self-portrait has a lovely still life painted on the back. It is oil on paper. As well I have a portrait of Irene, painted by Barbara. I really appreciate her impressionist style.
