About Barby Schacher

Barby Schacher ARTIST BIOGRAPHY

Barby Eller Schacher is a self-taught pastel artist who specializes in Western Art, Equestrian Art, and Wildlife Art. While her work is primarily in pastel pencil, she also enjoys exploring other mediums, as well.

INSPIRATION

Most of the inspiration for her artwork comes from growing up and living in the beautiful Pacific Northwest with its gorgeous, wild scenery and abundant wildlife. Horses, wildlife and drawing have been a huge part of Barby's life from a very early age.

She was raised on a wonderful small cattle ranch in a beautiful, mountainous area of North-Central Idaho. When she was barely old enough to ride a horse "alone" and hold a pencil, she was either riding horses or drawing them... when the weather was too cold or harsh outside to ride.

OPPORTUNITY

Her life's work has also allowed her to spend most of her adult life in gorgeous, mountainous areas of Idaho and the Pacific Northwest where she's had numerous opportunities to observe, enjoy, photograph and draw the abundant area wildlife in their natural habitat... mainly elk, deer, moose, mountain lion, and black bear.

Her personal life journey and experiences in the great outdoors have been her greatest "influence" and those experiences are why she "draws what she draws"!

SURROUNDED BY ART

Barby's most influential artists start with her own family and extended family. Her grandmother, Mabel Eller, and an aunt (Willetta Eller) were two family artists who influenced her love for art very early on.
