She is currently producing paintings for the inaugural exhibition for the new Museum of Goa & is organising-participating in an exciting 4 woman show, with 5 galleries (so far) travelling from India to Europe later in the year, the final venue being the Nehru Centre, the cultural wing of the Indian High Commission HQ in London. She will be intermittently starting introductory sculpture workshops at B & G. Her work can be seen here –www.barbaraash.org
